The BrightPath Difference
Our staff is absolutely second to none! Our dedicated educators work as a team to provide the highest level of care and developmentally appropriate programs for children possible. Besides academics and experience, each staff member is chosen for their energy, creativity, enthusiasm, and, of course, for their genuine love of teaching young children. We have numerous staff who are trained in medication administration and the use of Epi-Pens, and they are all certified in First Aid and CPR. We go beyond state licensing requirements by doing our own criminal conviction and background checks before a staff member starts working with children and we follow it up every year after that as well.
Our educators are required to have formal education in the field of early childhood education and they stay current in the field by participating in at least 20 hours of continuing education each year. For this level of professionalism, they are compensated at the highest end of the pay scale for childcare providers in the region, and they are provided with a comprehensive benefits package, including health and dental coverage, life insurance, a matched 401k program, tuition reimbursement, and much more. Our low turn-over rate is just one of the benefits of having such a positive work environment.
BP Connect™
Connect™ captures and shares your child's development so you'll never have to miss out! It's an intuitive, complimentary, easy-to-use family engagement app that allows families to see how their child is progressing. The app ensures privacy with a password login that can be shared with other family members. As internet safety is important to us, Connect™ adheres to the highest standards of security to protect every child's information.
Entrances
All entranceways of our centers are secured by a key-pad entry security system, ensuring that only our families and teachers can enter the building unassisted. This was implemented to ensure maximum security and safety of the children. These security measures can be individually deactivated any time if needed. In some centers, even the front doors themselves are a security feature, preventing children from exiting the building alone.
Cameras
In certain designated centers, our classrooms, playrooms, and playgrounds have at least one security camera. This setup enables our front desks to monitor activities across the center continuously.
CPR / First Aid Certified
All our teachers are certified in First Aid and CPR, ensuring a safe environment for your child. Additionally, our centers are equipped with Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs). Our commitment to safety goes beyond requirements, as we have trained staff in medication administration and using Epi-Pens.
Background Checks
Another way we go beyond licensing requirements is by doing our own criminal conviction and background checks before a staff member starts working with children. We follow it up every year after that as well.
Lockdown Procedures
We also have lockdown procedures for each of our locations and we practice them regularly so our families can have full confidence that their children are in safe hands.
