BrightPath West Hartford on Park Child Care Center

"Love this daycare for its warm staff and exceptional care, especially in the infant room with Miss Kiarah and Miss Cam!" - Raquelina Torres

BrightPath West Hartford on Park Early Learning & Child Care center, previously Educational Playcare West Hartford on Park, is a beautiful facility with oversized classrooms and reflects all of the positive components we have learned about early childhood education over more than 30 years of providing exceptional daycare and preschool services. Our child care center offers plenty of free parking spaces for parents for easy drop-off and pick-up and our building is only accessed by using our facial recognition system. Additionally, families can find security cameras located in each classroom and play area and our daycare centers have strategically placed panic buttons that link us directly to the local police department in the event of an emergency.

Our child care center is warm and inviting, with each classroom benefiting from natural lighting and colorful interior features. Our infant and toddler daycare classrooms are designed to be very child-centered, right down to the tiniest detail. Our preschool classrooms include activity centers that include science, math, music, movement, construction, literacy, and dramatic play. Each of our daycares is equipped with a professional kitchen as we provide nutritious lunches, as well as two snacks each day.
