BrightPath Farmington Child Care Center - Farmington, Connecticut

I couldn’t be happier with my decision to bring my child to BrightPath Farmington. From the time she started at just 3 months old until she was 16 months, the care and love she received were unparalleled.

Miss Trista and Miss Eleni in the infant room were more than just teachers; they were like family. They helped me raise my child, capturing milestones like her first steps and noticing her unique quirks even before I did. The way they cared for her mirrored the care I would have provided at home, and that gave me peace of mind while at work.

Miss Alyssa and Miss Ellie deserve special recognition. They continued to impress me by expertly managing a room full of little ones, soothing cries, and reassuring them that their parents will be back. Because of them, my child thrived. Her development soared and she genuinely enjoyed going to school. We were also fortunate to briefly have Miss Yolanda. My daughter would reach out to be carried by her the moment she was dropped off—a clear sign of the trust and affection she felt.

Miss Kristie, the center director, is always onsite, something that I am realizing isn't the norm in the daycares I am currently touring. She goes out of her way to ensure the parents are happy and I really appreciate that. She consistently kept parents informed of any alarms, road closures, or other concerns with a sense of calm that always reassured me.

Miss Amy was also amazing, handling incident reports and one-on-one discussions with me with utmost professionalism. Her attention to detail and communication made navigating any concerns a smooth experience.

I am heartbroken to have left this center. I’ve seen firsthand how deeply other families feel the same—witnessing multiple parents in tears as they said goodbye to the incredible staff speaks volumes about how special BrightPath Farmington is.

This daycare has been a second home for my child, and I am forever grateful for the incredible start they’ve given her.

Previous post: I’m very happy with my decision to enroll my baby (<1 year) at Brightpath in Farmington. I visited 6 local daycare centers and this one stood out because of the proximity to the hospital, low turnover in the infant room, center-provided wipes and diapers for infants, and the warm welcome & tour that I received from the staff and directors. My little one comes home happy, stimulated and tired from the educational activities (which I recieve pictures of throughout the day). I have a strict rule about keeping my baby in a bouncer/container for limited amounts of time, and the teachers are fantastic at respecting that wish. Miss Eleni and the other teachers handle my baby with care and respect, and I feel safe leaving her. The expected daycare sicknesses will arise and parents are warned through the message center about any confirmed cases in their baby’s classes, along with research backed websites to learn more about the illness. I give the infant room at Brightpath 5 stars - thank you to the wonderful directors and staff who we now consider as extended family.

I started my son in BrightPath toddler program about 5 months ago. I can tell he loves his teachers so much, Ms. Dymon and Ms. Jae' Ana. Everyone at the center is so helpful and accommodating. They provide such a variety of healthy meals and snacks for the children. The curriculum incorporates so many things, he comes home sometimes and shocks me with new things he has learned from daycare. Safety is a big thing at the center as well. You need a code to get into the building and either Amy or Kristie are there at the front desk monitoring things as well. I definitely would recommend this center if you are looking for a great daycare in the area. BrightPath has part time and full time options for care and a really affordable diaper program which has been very helpful. They also take and upload pictures throughout the day which is a plus!

We recently moved to Connecticut from Arizona and were searching for a good daycare for our one-year-old daughter. Our standards for childcare were set high by her previous daycare in Arizona, and we were really worried about how she would adjust to a new place with new teachers, a new schedule, and new classmates. However, the teachers at BrightPath Farmington have been exceptionally patient in helping her adapt to her new schedule, and she is so happy here. It took her less than a week to start enjoying the place, and now she ABSOLUTELY loves it! She would go there all seven days a week if she could! Hahaha! We receive her constant updates and pictures throughout the day. The daycare's schedule is so creative, educational, and inspiring, and my daughter is truly fascinated by it. This daycare is definitely setting our childcare standards even higher!

A special thanks to Ms. Alyssa, Yolanda, and Ellie, whose positive impact will echo throughout my daughter's life. Thanks to Kristie and Amy for ensuring all children receive the best care possible—the daycare has a team of amazing teachers! We reserved this daycare from a distance, doing a virtual tour, and I am so glad we got the best care we could ever hope for our daughter.

my daughter started when she was 8 months. i had peace of mind leaving my child with such a wonderful daycare. They took care of my baby up until she was 4 and i have to say Carmen and Ms D were the best ever to her and she loves them so. its nice to be able to see pics of your child in pics and know what they are doing. My daughter has them as a back up for when her school is daycare is closed. Jennifer has been very nice and so down to earth. She is a very good director. Alison is also great. thank you to all the staff. I even recommended that one of the directors take their little girl and they also joined but the west Hartford branch.I miss them all so much and was glad to review the great staff,

Brightpath Farmington has amazing teachers! I feel comfortable dropping off my 3 year old daughter every day, knowing she will be happy and safe. The standard is high and all of the employees work hard to maintain learning environments that are safe and joyful. My two children have attended centers other than BrightPath, but this has been my favorite!

THE BEST!!!!! We are so lucky to be a part of this community. We brought Ruby at 8 weeks and she’s now 2 and a half and she absolutely LOVES her teachers and friends. Everyone is always happy to be there and you’re welcomed like it’s your extended family’s home. They do so many fun things together and they do an amazing job of sharing with us throughout the day! I am tearing up thinking about how wonderful all of her teachers are and all the love they give Ruby. The director goes above and beyond too!! Thank you all for everything, we love you so much!!!!

Deciding on where to send our child was not easy, but after meeting with the staff at BrightPath, the decision became much easier. BrightPath is a place that not only cares for your child, but provides excellent education. The constant updates via the BrightPath app give us peace of mind that our child is getting the best care and having the best time with other children and teachers. BrightPath also provides diapers, food and milk for the children, which alleviates a layer of stress in the morning as we try to get out the door on time. Overall, BrightPath has been a great place for our child and they really try to make the transitions as smooth as possible.

My four month old daughter recently started attending Brightpath and we could not be more happy with her time there thus far. As a new parent, the thought of childcare is daunting and stressful so deciding on the right place for our family was an enormous undertaking. Placing our daughter into the infant program has been a joy. We are updated throughout the day with her activities via photos and messages through their app as well as provided updates on feedings, diaper changes and naps. In the short time we have brought her there she has shown such growth and truly enjoys being there. The staff is wonderful and caring and always makes us feel comfortable dropping her there each day. We are extremely happy with our decision to send her to Brightpath and would highly recommend to any new parent looking for a stress-free and enjoyable child care experience.
