BrightPath Rutherford Child Care Centre — Daycare & Preschool in Vaughan, Ontario

What parents say

• Ambitious Naturals

  My child went to this daycare and it was the loveliest experience. He was in infant room 1 with Lala, Rana and Nikita. They were the absolute best with him. I was so nervous about him starting daycare. I prayed for a sign that this is the right fit and I got the sign loud and clear. These teachers loved my son, taught him well and put my mind at ease. If I could have them as his care providers forever I would. I highly recommend.

  As a concerned parent, I cannot in good conscience recommend this daycare to families seeking a dependable, well-managed, and communicative environment. Communication with the center is severely lacking—calls frequently go unanswered, emails are ignored, and parents are often left uninformed about important matters. The director, Simranpreet Kaur, is rarely present to greet families at the front, and during my visit to the office, I felt uncomfortable and excluded. Staff members were speaking in a language I did not understand, which made me feel anxious and unsure about whether I was being discussed negatively. This lack of transparency is troubling in a setting that should foster trust and inclusion. Additionally, I have received conflicting answers from the director on several occasions, which only adds to the growing sense of disorganization and lack of accountability. One of my deepest concerns is regarding my 2-year-old daughter’s care. Male educators are responsible for changing her diaper, and while I understand that both men and women can be excellent caregivers, I am deeply uneasy about this given the lack of communication and trust within the center. I believe parents deserve reassurance and clear policies around such sensitive matters to ensure their child’s safety and dignity are always protected. It is incredibly disappointing to witness such poor management in a place meant to prioritize children’s well-being. If you are looking for a nurturing, transparent, and reliable childcare center, I strongly recommend exploring other options.

  Our family has been coming to Brightpath Rutherford for over three years (almost four) and as parents of three children, this is our honest and detailed review of the daycare. In a nutshell, this daycare is better than the others because: - It has large rooms and play areas that are always kept meticulous (if you have toddlers and preschoolers, you know how important space is) - It has an advanced curriculum for the daycare (Frogstreet) - It has two preschool rooms based on age unlike other daycares that bunch all children together - They have an employee that stands at the door helps with drop off in the morning - Their chef (Alex) accommodates food preferences better than other daycares, which really helps with picky eaters Infant room - even though we live in Richmond Hill, we would drive to this location because we found it to be the cleanest and best run daycare for infant children. Our children started at 5 and 6 months and it was very hard to find people we would trust with them. Larysa, Tamara, Parveen and Noah are true professionals who care about children. While infants can’t speak, I would see how excited and happy my children would be around them. My oldest son who is now 3.5 and in the preschool room still walks by the infant room and yells “I love you Lala (Larysa)” and my youngest daughter who just graduated to the toddler room loves her second mom Tamara (Tata) probably more than she loves me. Toddler room - my twins are currently in the toddler room with Julia. It was clearly a difficult transition for them but Julia has been so patient and we are so grateful. At home, if I mention Julia’s name, my youngest son starts giggling and getting excited. It is extremely beneficial that there was some continuity with Noah and Parveen who would also help with the infant room. My children LOVE Noah and Parveen. Preschool rooms - My oldest son has been in both preschool rooms. An excellent thing about this daycare is that they have two rooms, one for the older preschoolers and one for the younger ones. The younger preschool room is run by Gunjan and Alicia, who are AMAZING. Gunjan single-handedly potty trained my older son. She is diligent, professional and every parent’s dream when their child is going through the tantrum-y pre-school phase. Alicia is kind and loveable and my preschooler would literally hold her hand as he fell asleep. The older preschool room is run by Manuela, Alyson and Neha who are also excellent. We loved the graduation ceremony they organized. In summary, no daycare is perfect but we have felt really privileged over the years to be at Brigthpath Rutherford as they always addressed our concerns, and reassured us that they take care of our children. We gladly paid full price for our three children, and now under the CWELCC, we think the care they receive for the price is unparalleled. Lately, we have felt that management, Aman and Debbie, have made this daycare even better. I hope they keep up the good work and, as a mother, would definitely recommend this daycare.

  We joined the infant class at BrightPath Rutherford back in May and we're so happy with our decision in choosing them as our daycare. The initial transition was seamless and the teaching team + staff were all very helpful in ensuring our family's comfort. Baby grew to LOVE the teachers early on and now doesn't even look back at us during the morning dropoff. Ms Larissa, Rana and Mr. Noah are phenomenal in their childcare and baby has the best time ever. We struggled with eating/sleeping prior to starting daycare and now both issues are completely resolved. Thank you so much for taking care of our precious little one!!!
