Financial Support Opportunities

Subsidies for Childcare

Financial assistance may be available to qualifying families, helping to reduce the cost of child care. This support allows parents to pursue work or education with the peace of mind that their child is in a safe, nurturing environment.
Eligibility requirements vary by state or region. For more information, visit our Subsidy Opportunities page.

Tax Savings and Incentives

  • Certain tax credits and savings programs may help lower the cost of child care for eligible families:
    • Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit: A federal tax credit that reduces year-end tax liability for qualified families.
    • Child Tax Credit: May lower your federal taxes for each eligible child under the age of 17.
    • Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA): Offered by some employers, this account allows you to allocate pre-tax income for childcare expenses.
    • State-Specific Incentives: Additional benefits may be available depending on where you live.

These options vary for each family. Consult with a tax professional or preparer, or visit irs.gov for further details.

Corporate Discounts

Your employer might participate in our Corporate Partnership Program, which offers tuition discounts for eligible employees. Contact your school director to learn more about these potential savings.

Our Staff

We are powered by people. Here at BrightPath, we pride ourselves on a people-first attitude and believe in the word ‘team.’ Along with our Centre Directors and Assistant Directors, our Early Childhood Educators are the best of the best and form what we consider to be a home-away-from-home for your children. They are not just experts in their field, nor daily caregivers; rather they act as mentors who inspire creativity, learning, individuality and respect for a child’s natural psychological, physical and social development.

The BrightPath Kids Family

The story of BrightPath began under a different name. Originating in May of 2010, Edleun (Education Learning Universe) was formed with the acquisition of eleven child care centres in Alberta. With the vision of raising the standard of child care in Canada, Edleun began a pattern of rapid growth over the next three years, acquiring a total of 49 centres.

Post-acquisition, many changes were implemented in these existing facilities, including physical upgrades and product improvements. Educational curriculum and programming was rolled out at all age levels and a nutritious menu plan was introduced. Over the summer of 2013, Edleun transitioned to its new name: BrightPath.

Our growth has been both organic and acquisition-based in nature. In addition to our recently purpose-built BrightPath centres including Chestermere, Clayton Hills, Cochrane, Creekside, Sage Hill, Richmond and St. Johns in both Alberta and British Columbia, we have been fortunate enough to adopt additional marquee brands over the years including Brite Studios in Calgary, Manotick Montessori in Manotick, Queens Montessori Academy in Markham, three Children’s House Montessori centres in Windsor, four Little Scholars Montessori centres in Ottawa, four ABC Academy centres in Toronto, and 20 Peekaboo Child Care centres across Ontario.
