  I absolutely love this place! My 2-year-old son goes here every day and is learning so much through their wonderful Montessori-style activities. He’s always excited to tell me about what he learned and the fun projects they do. The environment encourages independence, creativity, and kindness, and I can already see how much confidence he’s gaining. He has also made some great friends here, and it makes me so happy to see how well he interacts and plays with other children. The teachers, especially Mrs. Yukimi, and the director, Julianna, are amazing — always available to answer any questions and genuinely care about each child. This is the first daycare I’ve truly loved. I feel completely comfortable leaving my son here, knowing he’s in capable, caring hands every single day.

  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.

  We've really enjoyed our time at BrightPath over the last four years. The curriculum for each age is great and we love the included meals, spacious outdoor areas and other enrichment activities such as cooking classes. Big shoutout to Ms. Alex in toddlers, Bianca and Shay in Infants, and Ashley, Nicole, Venessa and Pankaj in preschool for providing the absolute best care!

  We have so many great things to say about the staff at Brightpath! Everyone at the front desk is always kind, welcoming and accommodating. Our daughter has had and continues to have an awesome experience with so many of the educators! She learned to walk with Ms. Lucky, who is so devoted to each child. She’s always super engaged, laughing and playing with the kids. When she moved to the 2s class she and Ms. Cassi immediately bonded and Ms. Cassi continues to show her love to our daughter. Ms. Cassi made early morning drop off much easier. She is incredibly communicative and sweet. We love getting visits from Ms. Yukimi who is always engaged with the kids and has a smile on her face. Our daughter is now with Ms. Dora who always welcomes her in and ensures she is cared for each day. She is also great with communication and ensuring good boundaries in the classroom. Sarah is her other teacher and while we are still getting to know her, we have found that she is incredibly sweet and welcoming. We feel so lucky to have our daughter with such amazing teachers.

  Our first six months at BrightPath Newtown have been an overall positive experience. The beginning was tough due to separation anxiety, but (in the director's words) LO now loves BrightPath so much that LO bleeds BrightPath. She would love nothing more than to put LO in a bee shirt. (BrightPath's mascot is a bee.) It doesn't matter how LO is behaving - whether happy or crying - Ms. Madison gives LO the warmest welcome at drop-off. If LO is screaming or crying, Ms. Madison calms LO down quickly, so I can go to work worry-free. I make numerous requests, and Ms. Madison and Ms. Taylor have been nothing but supportive of all the changes I want to implement, such as retiring the pacifier and transitioning from bottles with nipples to cups (for breast milk). LO is very tuned into music, so we reinforce that at home. Ms. Madison generously spends time answering all of my questions, even singing songs that I am not familiar with for me, so that I can repeat them at home for LO. She even started to list the song titles in the daycare app after we had this conversation. When I showed interest in a modeling clay art project, Ms. Madison told me that she makes all the sensory items at home because she doesn't trust toddlers to keep items out of their mouths. Every day at pickup, Ms. Taylor gives detailed updates about the LO's day. Naps, food, milk, last diaper change, activity, and any notable behavior. It is impressive how Ms. Taylor can find peace amongst multiple screaming and crying toddlers and speak with me with a straight face at pickup. I love it when she shares details like how LO is best friends with another kid, when LO picks up books that other kids threw on the ground, or when LO starts saying and repeating a new word. She assesses the kids' needs and gives extra snacks or finds calming activities (coloring a piece of paper taped to the table). She also does the best hair for all the girls in class! Whenever there is an incident, LO's teachers contact us immediately, whether it's something as silly as a classmate sticking his finger in LO's mouth and LO bit him (no puncture, no blood, no visible injuries), or serious as illness and fever, BrightPath is transparent in their communication, so we learn to trust them. LO gets frequent diaper checks and changes, so we've never had an issue with diaper rashes. If diaper checks occur during pickup, the LO's teachers are eager to put on a new diaper so that we have one less thing to do at home. We speak a different language at home, so it's easy to see that LO is learning so many new words and growing so much at BrightPath. Both Ms. Madison and Ms. Taylor take great care of LO and have the kids' best interests at heart. We love them both.
