Krusinski Construction Co. (KCC) has completed a 14,446-square-foot BrightPath Early Learning and Child Care facility in South Elgin, Illinois, marking a significant milestone in the company’s growing portfolio of education-sector projects. The newly finished center, located within the Medical and Legal Arts Building, represents a successful adaptive reuse project that transformed an existing commercial space into a vibrant, child-focused learning environment.

The project marks KCC’s first collaboration with BrightPath, a brand under Busy Bees North America, which operates more than 240 childcare centers across the United States and Canada.
The South Elgin facility is part of BrightPath’s continued expansion into the Midwest, where demand for high-quality early childhood education and care has grown substantially. The daycare center features modern classrooms, indoor play areas, administrative offices, and specialized spaces designed to foster creativity, learning, and safety for children.
The renovation required extensive interior demolition and reconstruction to accommodate the unique design and operational needs of a childcare facility, while maintaining compliance with state and local childcare regulations. KCC’s construction team collaborated closely with designers and BrightPath representatives to ensure that the space not only met functional and safety requirements but also embodied the company’s philosophy of creating warm, engaging environments for young learners.
The project also demonstrates KCC’s expertise in tenant improvement and adaptive reuse construction, where efficiency, quality, and attention to detail are critical. Transforming the lower level of a professional office building into a fully equipped daycare required structural modifications, new mechanical and electrical systems, and the installation of specialized finishes suitable for children’s spaces.

With an emphasis on sustainable design and long-term functionality, the facility integrates energy-efficient lighting, modern HVAC systems, and durable materials that support both performance and safety. The project also enhances accessibility and circulation throughout the space, providing safe and convenient entry and exit points for parents and staff.
“Krusinski Construction’s collaboration with BrightPath on this project underscores its commitment to delivering high-quality educational environments,” said a company spokesperson. “This new South Elgin facility reflects both BrightPath’s standards for excellence and our ability to transform existing spaces into places where children can thrive.”
BrightPath’s expansion continues to align with the broader Busy Bees mission to create early learning environments that nurture creativity, curiosity, and confidence. Each center is designed with safety and developmental enrichment in mind, providing families with trusted, professional care solutions.
This project adds to Krusinski’s growing portfolio of educational and community-based developments across the Midwest. The company has earned recognition for its work in commercial, industrial, and institutional construction sectors, often focusing on projects that enhance local infrastructure and quality of life.
As BrightPath continues its U.S. expansion, Krusinski Construction’s successful delivery of the South Elgin center is expected to pave the way for future collaborations across Illinois and surrounding states.
