  BrightPath has been an absolute blessing for our family. From the moment we walk in each morning, Julianna greets everyone with a warm, genuine smile. She is consistently kind, welcoming, and fully present. I truly have no idea how she maintains that level of positivity every single day, but it sets the tone for the entire school. Kelsey is equally wonderful. She is thoughtful, attentive, and incredibly responsive. In fact, the entire team is beyond responsive. Whenever I have a question or need anything at all, I receive a reply within minutes. That level of communication provides real peace of mind as a parent. The school takes sanitizing and cleanliness very seriously. They have a Zono machine they utilize and have a real cleaning company that keeps the school clean. The classrooms are spotless and smell CLEAN, and you can see that health protocols are not just discussed but implemented consistently. Since transferring from our daughter’s previous school in Ridgefield, she has rarely been sick. The difference has been noticeable and meaningful for our family. Another thing that stands out is the low teacher turnover. The staff feels stable, invested, and genuinely happy to be there. That continuity creates a nurturing environment where children can truly thrive. We could not be happier since making the switch to BrightPath. It has exceeded our expectations in every way. And if this review has convinced you, please be sure to use me as a referral. I would be thrilled to share why we love this school so much!

  Our family is very happy with BrightPath! The director team is amazing, and the teachers are great. Everyone truly cares about your child; they know them personally, not just as a name at the school, but the details - favorite color, Disney characters, and personality traits. They engage with the entire family daily, have fantastic communication throughout the week with emails, newsletters, and daily reports, and host a variety of family events to include parents and siblings in the school. My child loves everyone, but of course, has favorites : ) We are so lucky to have had incredible teachers like Ms. Alex, Ms. Marissa, and Ms. Lynn who helped our child learn, grow, and thrive.

  I was fortunate to visit BrightPath recently. I felt all the right feelings - love resides in that beautiful building! Handsome and beautiful young people - full of spirit - cared for by special staff.. PS - I love young children and could have spent the day! I also have to confess to two facts - I am a grandfather and Miss Julianna is my daughter. Last - I know how much she cares!

  As first time parents, we did a lot of research and toured a number of locations. We truly feel we found the best possible daycare with BrightPath! The center is always welcoming, friendly, and clean. The infant room teachers (shout out to Marie, Tami, Shay, and Bianca!) are all absolutely wonderful. We truly feel like our daughter is given an abundance of attention and care while she's at BrightPath. The communication from staff is great, we love the updates in the app daily, newsletter content, and spirit week calendar. We look forward to future community events to hopefully get to know some of the other parents! Most importantly, our daughter seems to love it there and always has a smile on her face at drop off and pick up.

  TLDR: Reasons we love BrightPath Newtown: 1. Security - pins to get into the building for each family, plus someone is always at the front desk (and they know everyone!) 2. Lillio app - we get pictures and updates frequently throughout the day. We can easily send a message to the teacher and director, and we get to see info about naps, food and activities for our girls every day. 3. Friendly and engaged staff - every teacher we’ve met has been fantastic! There are some teachers we pass in the hallway that know our daughter and smile and say hello and we’ve never even met them. 4. Outdoor space - the play spaces outside completely surround the building! Every classroom has access to an age-appropriate play space that isn’t just fake grass and plastic toys. The spaces are filled with natural wood toys and other natural elements that really encourage creativity and imagination. 5. Cleanliness - they have clean, minimal classrooms that aren’t too overly decorated or bright, and you can tell from the materials in every classroom that there is a focus on literacy, movement, and sensory stimulation. They also have a Zono machine that cleans toys and materials to help stop the inevitable spread of germs. Longer story: Finding BrightPath Newtown came after a long journey of various daycares for our daughter - 4 daycares in 3 years due to moving states and some negative experiences. When we lived in VA, we absolutely fell in love with our daycare and were so sad to leave. We compared every daycare we looked at to the gold standard they set for us. I wasn’t sure we’d ever find something as wonderful. Thankfully, BrightPath has exceeded our expectations! From day one, they’ve been welcoming, friendly, and responsive to our needs. We have a 3 year old in the preschool room and a 4 month old in the infant room. Every teacher we’ve encountered has been amazing! They clearly love what they do and they’re excited to see our girls every morning 😊 The one time I had an issue, the director, Julianna, took the time to listen to my concerns and showed that she really cared. She immediately took care of it and made sure to keep us updated on our daughter that day. It was tough to leave a 3 month old at daycare, but she loves her teachers and the pictures they send us throughout the day always show her smiling! She has grown and learned so much already. I was also worried about the transition to another daycare for our toddler but she is thriving! Her speech, attention, fine motor skills and confidence has grown in the few months we’ve been at BP. She runs in excitedly every day and at pickup she’s always playing happily outside (every classroom has outdoor space, which means they’re outside a lot and it’s one of the deciding factors in our decision to choose BP Newtown!) If you’re on the fence about joining the BP family in Newtown, take a chance - you won’t regret it 🥰
