I absolutely love BrightPath Redding. They make leaving my son feel easier and I am confident he is safe and loved. The teachers are sweet and kind. My son walks right into school without looking back. BrightPath also provides food and makes the home life balance so much easier. They provide a balanced diet! Throughout the day I get updates and pictures of all the activities they are taking part of. I always receive…

The projects, experiences, and curriculum are age and developmentally appropriate. My son…
