Description: Our approach to learning provides children and families with a balance of rich opportunities throughout the day that promote learning and development. We know that children learn best through play, and teaching should be intentional, yet child directed. Our programs from birth thru Kindergarten are designed to help young learners excel, and to give parents peace of mind knowing their child will be safely cared for in a rich nurturing learning environment.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

Dropped a child on the head and caused an brain fracture and bleeding on the head.
Excellent center. I have used this center since it opened & have nothing but positive things to say. My son loves this place to the point where he wont go anywhere else. They have taught him all he needs to know to be ready for kindergarten next year. I am constantly referring ppl to Bright Path. The staff & directors are just AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
