BrightPath Deer Ridge is situated on the cusp of the two southeast communities of Deer Ridge and Queensland along Canyon Meadows Drive and across the street from the Atria Retirement Home. Walking distance from Deer Valley Market Place in one direction and Don Bosco and Wilma Hansen Schools in the other, the centre offers convenient access for families on their way to and from work.
This centre is highly community-focused and gets involved in various activities occurring around the neighbourhood. Children and staff plant a community garden in the summer, learning all about starting and planting seedlings, watering and caring for their plots, harvesting their produce and finally enjoying it prepared in their meals by their on-site cook. Throughout the year, they also visit the Seniors Home across the street, engaging the residents during holidays such as Halloween and Christmas.
Fully licensed and accredited, the centre offers child care to children aged 6 weeks to 5 years and before and after school care for children aged 6 to 12 years old. School-aged children are walked to Don Bosco School and bussed to Haultain Memorial which is only a short five-minute bus ride away.
