My family and I have had a great experience with BrightPath Kitchener and it will be sad to say…read moregoodbye at the end of the summer. I've watched the wonderful changes that have happened within the centre over the past year with new leadership taking over. Walking in, you can see the love, passion and hard work that has been poured into the centre not just aesthetically but with the staff and classrooms as well. You can see that they truly care and believe in what they do. You can see the staff are happy and are truly passionate about their job because it's evident in their environment. The communication with the office is nothing short of superb. The centre director Natasha is professional, welcoming and creates a caring and safe environment for my child. Overall since the change in leadership in the office, they have done an outstanding job creating a positive, well organized, caring child care centre and you can really see how well the centre is run! It will be truly missed by my family!

My son ripped out his 2 front teeth at 18m in her care. They didn't do anything to work on his verbal skills. Christina slapped a pen cap from my son's hand. This was reported to family and childrens services on Friday afternoon. I wasn't notified until Tuesday at noon. I punished my son on the weekend for slapping my hands. We thought he was just hitting and being a brat. He was trying to tell us. They claim that she didn't make contact. My son had bruises on hs hands.Christina wasn't fired. She was moved to another room( The infant room) and staff didn't know what happened. The staff that reported her were punished and fired.

I, as a parent, am very satisfied. You can notice how the educators get attached to the children,…read morehow much they care for them and love them. They spend a lot of time learning, playing, reading books to the children; they spend a lot of time outdoors. Everybody is involved in taking care of the kids: director, assistants, educators, cook(s)... everyone. The facility is very clean and full of different educational toys that they rotate or try to replace with other toys - whenever possible. The staff are very culturally-sensitive. Once you get in there for your informational session, you become sure that there is no better place for your child than La Garderie. Kids do not watch TV there, which makes me very happy. There is a large outdoor play area for your child(ren) and they have a gym in cases of extreme weather conditions. You get reports about your child's day on a daily basis. Our child is obviously happy at La Garderie, and my husband and I are more than happy about that!
