What our families think about 皇家华人av Waterdown

"I was unsure of where to send my son but after visiting Brightpath I did not look any further! The classrooms are well equipped to entertain and teach the children and there is a large yard for them to play in. The staff are super friendly, even if they are not your child's educator they still know who your child is. Michelle's door is always open too as she works. Thank you to an awesome team for all the love and care you give to my children!"
Jennifer Faye Gilkes
"Fantastic facility! My little one joined 皇家华人av Waterdown this year and he absolutely loves it! The facility is professionally managed by Michelle, and the fellow employees, Julia and Amanda, make my son feel very welcomed every day. All the healthy food options are made fresh in-house every morning and nothing is preserved. The facility also utilizes a parent-child connective app called HiMama which allows you to receive pictures of your child鈥檚 daily activities, and you even receive a full daily report of what they ate, how much they ate, and how long they napped for right after pick-up; very informative! Lastly, the facility backs onto a large securely-gated play area of which the children can freely run around and let their abundant energy out. - The play area is split into three different sections to ensure that same-age range children play together. Overall we are very pleased with 皇家华人av Waterdown and would surely recommend the facility to anyone and everyone! 馃榿"
