childcare
Brightpath Active Learning is a SUTQ Bronze-recognized center-based program in Westerville, Ohio, serving preschool and school-age children with a nature-based, hands-on curriculum that integrates art, physical activity, and outdoor learning. The center offers a private kindergarten program, after-school services, and seasonal camp options, with dedicated indoor and outdoor learning spaces reflecting its philosophy of inclusive, community-focused early education. A notable gap is the absence of public parent reviews on major platforms (Winnie, Daycare.com, BBB), which limits independent verification of family experience and cultural practices—families considering enrollment should seek direct referrals and visit in person to evaluate fit.
