BrightPath Learning Center Opens New Child Care Center In Parsippany

PARSIPPANY, NJ — A new child care center has opened in Parsippany, promising high-quality and educational daycare, pre-kindergarten, and preschool programs for young children.

Parsippany officials officially welcomed BrightPath Learning Center to the township on Saturday; the center has been open at 70 Old Bloomfield Avenue since April 16.

BrightPath welcomes children from six weeks old to six years old and focuses on supporting their growth at the appropriate cognitive, social, and physical level with both structured activities and child-led play.

Monica Zollo, who serves as the Center Director, began working in the child care field after the birth of her own daughter helped her understand how important child care is in early development.

“With caring educators, our program is designed to provide children with quality care in a warm and nurturing environment,” Zollo said. “Combining that commitment with our holistic approach to meaningful learning opportunities, BrightPath gives every child the best start in life.”

BrightPath has locations across North America, though this is their first in the Garden State. They are part of the Busy Bees childcare network, which has more than 150 centers in the United States and Canada.

Mayor James Barberio and Chairman Frank Cahill of the Parsippany-Troy Hills Economic Development Advisory Board were among those welcoming Zollo (and the BrightPath bee mascot) over the weekend. The center also presented a check to the Kiwanis Club of Greater Parsippany.

“Quality child care programs are essential for our entire community," said Barberio. "They are lifelines for working families, enabling parents to set their children up for success in a very meaningful way.”

The child care center is licensed to care for 176 children. BrightPath offers financial assistance for families, and you can take a virtual tour online or request one in-person. Their posted hours are 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
