Welcome to BrightPath Oxford, formerly known as Educational Playcare Oxford, a leading child care center in Oxford, CT, specializing in daycare, child care, and early education. Our center, situated conveniently at 300 Oxford Road, offers a nurturing and educational environment for children, from infants to pre-k.
Now I feel like my child was just a $$. We told brighpath that we would be unenrolling our child a month in advance per there regulations. In that time our child was due to move up, but since we were unenrolling we didn't want our child to move into a new bright path classroom. We were told this was fine. We paid our last monthly fee in advance per their regulations. However on the last day we were hit with a $250+ bill because our child stayed in his classroom for the last 2 week. We were never told of the additional fee. Just fully be aware of the billing practices, now they threaten collections.

Staff -
I love the expression, "It takes a village" BrightPath in Oxford is a true definition of that expression. The staff and director are absolutely amazing here. This was the first time my kids would be away from me, as I was a stay home Mom. Our first impression during our tour, absolutely blew my husband and I away. Justina, the director, answered ever question and concern we had. Our kids having been attending here since September 2024. Every morning our kids are greeted with such love and compassion from every single staff member in that building, wheather it's a teacher, director, administration, chef, ECT. Our kids are always addressed by name which really makes it feel like a family setting. One of my favorite things here is that you get updated pictures throughout the day of my kids. The actives they are doing, their food log, nap log, bathroom log and so much more. Really puts your mind at easy knowing what they are up to during the day. This village here at BrightPath is beyond exceptional. Truly our extended family.
Our Daughter -
Our daughter loves getting up and going to school. She talks about her friends and teachers. Since she's been going there, we have noticed a change at home. She's more independent, more helpful around the house and much more patient with waiting. BrightPath offers so many amazing extra activities. We recently signed up our daughter for the reading and writing program with Ms. Jasmine and she's already doing amazing. She now likes to help read her books at night. Her teachers always keep us informed on how her day was. I love that they message us directly with any good news or concerns. You can see how devoted they are.
Our Son -
I was extremely nervous about sending my son due to he's in the process of getting tested for autism. When he started back in September 2024 he wasn't really speaking yet, having meltdowns and other things. Ms. Tone and Ms. Adie are beyond amazing!!! Since in their care our son now sits at a table with us eating all meals. He now is speaking much more than before. He's learning how to calm himself down. He hasn't had a meltdown in a while. He's excelling so much since he's been at BrightPath. I love that his teachers are on top of everything and give me great advice for continuing what I can do at home to keep him on track. Honestly, I have no idea where he'd be at right now if it wasn't for them. I have learned so much from talking to Ms. Tone and Ms. Adie. I feel like they go above and beyond. It takes special people to do this type of work and I'm so grateful that my son has them.
I wish my kids could stay here forever at BrightPath. They are setting the bar extremely high. Thank you for all you do!!

My toddler has been going to Oxford EPC since she was a little over 1 years old. She will be 3 in October and choosing Oxford Educational Playcare was one of the best choices ever! I call it school because that’s what it is. She learns so much there. She had a curriculum when she was 1. She does yoga weekly. All the staff there are like one big family. I recommend them all the time and they truly go above and beyond with communication and their tadpoles app is awesome! I get between 2-10 pictures a day of the activities that are happening throughout the day. I get a full report daily which is pretty extensive with what was learned, what was eaten, how many times used bathroom or when younger was changed. It’s really peace of mind! I can’t say it enough Oxford EPC is truly awesome!!!
