ASSAULT OF CHILDREN AT BRIGHTPATH BARRIE DAYCARE…read more At BRIGHTPATH KIDS daycare, located at 133 Mapleview Drive W in Barrie, my daughter endured unimaginable mistreatment. She was sprayed in the face multiple times with a spray bottle containing a chemical cleaning solution made of soap and bleach-meant to disinfect surfaces, not to be used on a childs face when "mis behaving". She was also assaulted when the same daycare worker pinched her in the mouth. These incidents were investigated by Children's Aid, the Ministry of Education, and the Barrie Police. The findings confirmed that this individual intentionally caused harm and placed my daughter at significant risk of injury. It was also confirmed that other staff members witnessed these events and failed to report them. It was also identified that these actions were also performed on other children not just mine. Despite these serious findings, BrightPath Kids chose to continue employing this individual, claiming that additional training was a more appropriate response due to their tenure with the company. Barrie Police issued only a caution for assault with a weapon, and no formal charges have been laid to date. As a parent, I am heartbroken and outraged. I trusted this centre with my child's safety and care, and instead, she suffered trauma and harm at the hands of those responsible for protecting her. I am speaking out because parents deserve transparency. Our community deserves to know when a childcare facility fails to uphold its duty to protect the most vulnerable. I have begun the process of civil action and will not stay silent while those responsible avoid accountability. Please share this message with whoever you can including tagging media to help bring awareness to this issue. Every child deserves a safe, nurturing environment, and those who harm children must be held accountable-without exception

We love WeeWatch! Our daughter Leni started when she was 11 months old. I was nervous to have her…read morestart this young, during a pandemic, and also with a metabolic disorder. WeeWatch made the transition flawless. Our provider Sherri is incredible. She makes sure Leni is taken care of just like she's her own daughter. Leni loves going to Sherri's and flies into her arms in the mornings, and is in no hurry to leave at the end of the day. Finding a provider who care the way Sherri does is a huge weight lifted off our shoulders. Thank you Sherri & WeeWatch for the care, communication, and dedication you all have for the children and families. I can't say enough about you!

We started with Wee Watch at the beginning of the school year. Our child care provider cancelled 3…read moredays within the first 2 weeks with little notice (the day of for most of the absences) and there was no back up care available. This was stressful and inconvenient as a single parent. The quality of care was lacking. My child was monitored opposed to engaged with meaningful child care. She was walked home from school by the Provider and often left so far behind that it looked like she was walking on her own (she is 4 years old) as I found out from friends who noticed this as they drove by my child, and I witnessed on my own as I picked up my child early one day. The television was on the entire time my child was in care (approximately four hours) and also during dinner time. My child did not eat her dinner a few nights (pick up time was around 7 pm) and was not supported to eat something, nor was the television turned off during this time (very distracting for a 4 year old who is supposed to be focused on eating). The child care provider was not very receptive to my concerns or feedback. When addressed by Wee Watch staff, she sent me a text about giving me 2 weeks notice and declared that I was having her stocked (very irrational conclusion here). After addressing my experience and concerns with Wee Watch, they were not willing to negotiate the 2 week notice pay I had to provide (even though the provider gave notice and the experience we had was not one of quality care and my child's safety was disregarded numerous times with being left behind too far during walking time). Wee Watch claimed there were no policies broken, so the full 2 extra weeks of child care pay would have to be made on my end. I communicated how I understood something should be paid, however I was hoping to negotiate by covering one week opposed to two. Not negotiating this payment on Wee Watch's behalf made it very difficult for me to afford new child care that I needed right away, as I ended up pulling my child from Wee Watch care after I received the concerning text from my Provider due to the outcome of being addressed by her supervisor. This was a very disappointing experience overall, especially as Wee Watch highly recommended this provider.
