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!!

BrightPath in Oxford is my family’s second home. My 3 year old has been attending this location since he was 4 months old. I have nothing but sincere gratitude and admiration for this center and the amazing staff behind their friendly and welcoming doors. The curriculum has enriched his knowledge and taught him so much over the years. He is thriving with the sign language and on task with many developmental skills, such as using utensils and potty training. They have yoga, cooking, gardening, daily outdoor play, morning community circle time and so much more! The teachers are outstanding and it shows that they truly care for my kid as an individual and as student. My child has a strong sense of belonging and autonomy while at BrightPath as well as the nurturing all growing children need. BrightPath creates a balance to help him explore the world in a safe manner. BrightPath in Oxford launched the cooking class and my child LOVES this program, he is proud in his ability to create, share and then eat his creations. This confidence has now transitioned into the kitchen at home and it’s beautiful to watch. The director and/or assistant director are always available for any concerns. Their door is open for pop-ins, they have direct messaging with prompt response with in the app as well as quick access via call. The meals involve fresh produce and a variety of foods which helps my child explore options I wouldn’t typically offer, ex: veggie nuggets. I plan on keeping my child at this daycare for as long as possible. He has been receiving his Birth to Three services at BrightPath which helps his teachers incorporate the therapies. He will be starting preschool in the fall and Oxford’s school bus transportation system with bring him back and forth from Quaker Farms elementary school.

We are so grateful to have found BrightPath for our baby boy. We started our son in daycare at 3 months and as a new mom, I was nervous to return to work and have someone (anyone) take care of him. Flash forward, he’s now 7 months and we are still very happy! They are professional, kind & attentive from the front desk, teachers and directors who are involved in our son’s care. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking to send their kids into daycare and have their mind at ease knowing they are being taken care of.

Bright Path is a great daycare. My son has been in the center for almost 2 years. The teachers are attentive and have great communication. The director is present in the classrooms and knows all the children by name. The administration team is friendly and easy to talk to. I would recommend brighrpath anyday..
