BrightPath's Little Scholars Montessori Receives Prime Minister's Award for the Second Time

TORONTO, May 8, 2017 /CNW/ - BrightPath Early Learning Inc. ("BrightPath" or the "Company") (TSX-V: BPE), the leading Canadian provider of quality early childhood education and care, is pleased to announce that Sabrina Rehman, BrightPath's Area Manager of Ottawa, has received the honour of the Prime Minister's Awards for Exellence in Early Childhood Education.

Rehman was awarded the Certificate of Excellence for the province of Ontario, of which there is a single recipient.  According to the Prime Minister's Awards for Excellence in Early Childhood Education Program, "Recipients are recognized for their leadership, exemplary early childhood education practices, and their commitment to help build the foundation children need to make the best possible start in life."

This is not the first time BrightPath has received this accolade.  Mona Khan, a member of the Company's management team, was recognized with the same award in 2014.

"Being recognized as one of the top five early childhood educators across the nation is a great honour. As someone who is passionate about early learning and the lasting impact these early years have on the lives of children, this is a truly inspiring and humbling experience.  I share this esteem alongside my wonderful colleagues at Little Scholars and BrightPath," says Rehman.

Rehman, who has been a part of Little Scholars Montessori since its inception in 2003,  received her award directly from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at a ceremony held in Ottawa on May 2, 2017.  Rehman oversees the four Little Scholars Montessori schools in the Nepean / Barrhaven area of Ottawa, Ontario and Manotick Montessori, also part of the BrightPath portfolio.
