  While we originally loved BrightPath, our experience deteriorated over the year our child attended daycare there. I cannot in good conscience recommend anyone send their child to this daycare. There have been many great teachers there, trying their hardest to deliver the best possible care, but it became apparent that leadership’s drive to control costs was coming at the expense of our son’s and other children’s care. The center struggled with near constant teacher turnover, often replacing truly caring teachers with those who did the bare minimum or less. Classrooms were often shuffled throughout the day - combining across toddler and infant classes - and we often didn’t know where our son would be or what teachers he would have at pickup. We were often notified about staffing shortages and asked to keep our son home if we could. When he started in the toddler classroom, we could see that our son was doing multiple structured activities throughout the day, including story time, art, structured play, and outdoor time. By the end though, it became clear he was mostly being left to entertain himself and go wild with his classmates. He would come home exhausted and overstimulated everyday. The final straw for us was repeated issues with poor diaper changing hygiene, despite ongoing feedback to the teachers and center leadership. After our son came home screaming and crying because he had a diaper rash so severe it was blistering from not being fully cleaned that day, we quickly found a new day care. He has not had a diaper rash since. Since we departed, we have been made aware of multiple, troubling instances of child neglect and abuse by the teachers at BrightPath Maynard as well as attempted cover up of these incidents, which are detailed in the public MA DESE reports available on the state site. It surprises me that they have been allowed to stay in business.
