  We had a wonderful experience at First Path Daycare Center and would still be there if we hadn't moved. It was the first time we put our 6 month old in daycare and the director, Sasha, was very kind and reassuring. She had us come down with our son for an introduction hour and it eased my mind. Our son really thrived in the center with the caring staff. I loved that they took the kids outside every day for walks and in their wonderful playground. When we first toured the center, I remember Sasha saying something like, the first thing we teach the children is love. I really felt like this was true. The amount of love within those walls was palpable. Staff turnover is low and Sasha is there all the time and really pours her heart and soul into the center. I highly recommend this daycare center!

  Our daughter loves First Path Daycare. She loves all of the teachers who work there. They are really attentive to all of her needs and it’s amazing to see her growth. She was a really shy baby during early COVID times and it’s been amazing to see how much she has grown socially and how many milestones she has accomplished due to First Path. They care to all of your children’s personal needs and do not treat them as a one-size fits all approach. The daycare director Sasha is so amazing. She is so busy yet knows basically everything about each and every child. She keeps close communication with all of the employees and is able to address any concerns you may have until you are satisfied.

  We had the most wonderful experience attending First Path Daycare! In March 2022, my job required me to go back to the office and as many parents, we were scrambling for coverage. The Director, Aleksandra, welcomed us so graciously and invited me and my daughter (17-months then) to visit and meet the teachers ahead of her first day. I instantly adored the staff and could see their passion in what they do.Our daughter felt right at home by the second day adjusting to a new routine and it was all thanks to the staff making the transition smooth! From circle time to puzzles, crafts and music, their curriculum keeps the children busy all day.There’s also an adjacent park and playground that is used for morning drop off when the weather is nice. It makes for a great start to the day for everyone.If it weren’t for our family relocating, we would absolutely be continuing with this loving daycare. We were heartbroken to say goodbye but know other families joining will be in the best care!

  Our daughter attended First Path daycare starting Nov 2021 to June 2022. She was in toddler 1 &2 classes during that timeframe. She was extremely happy throughout the time. She loved all her teachers and the teachers are extremely passionate about what they do. Our daughter learned a lot from them. The facilities may not look attractive but I feel parents and kids care more about how teachers are with kids. The park adjacent to the daycare is the best to have. Our daughter enjoyed her time outside in park. In summers, the drop off is in park so it is always an exciting moment to start the day for our kid. We really have only good things to say about this daycare and we had to discontinue as we are moving out of town. Overall, we are very satisfied with this daycare and would definitely recommend it to others!

  Our little one was enrolled in first path daycare during 8/2021-8/2022 timeframe. We had a great experience overall and believe that our daughter has learnt a lot ! The teachers (Marina, Fifi, Eena, Grace) are very caring, thoughtful and some of them have been with the learning center for several years. Sasha/Aleksandra the director of the daycare center is very involved & hands on. She made every effort to address any concerns we had very promptly!The added advantage is that there is playground very close to the center and the kids just playing there with their friends. Loved it & highly recommend!

  Our daughter attended First Path Daycare starting in the summer of 2019 (at 6 months old) until the new year of 2021 (2+ yrs old). Over that time frame, she was in the infant and toddler classes. She was always extremely happy in all of the classes and loved her teacher and classmates. The teachers in each class are very experienced, and our daughter learned so much while in their care (physically, academically, and behaviorally).Several reviews of First Path are critical of the facilities. My wife and I never felt that there was any major issue with the classrooms. In addition, one aspect of First Path that we view as a strength is its adjacency to a large park and the Watertown Center. The children have a large outdoor area that they can access that is superior to any outdoor space we saw at other daycare centers.My wife and I thought that the First Path response to Covid was very reasonable. They installed air filtration systems, obtained high quality PPE for staff, and instituted policies that seemed realistic and sustainable. Compared to the daycare facilities used by my co-workers, First Path seemed to be ahead of the curve. They re-opened sooner following closures, and none of our daughter's classmates or teachers had an exposure.Overall, we are very happy with our decision to enroll our daughter at First Path Daycare Center and would recommend it to others!

  We have had both our kids go to First Path Daycare center since the age of 5 months, and we absolutely loved it there. They have really amazing teachers in every single classroom from the infant room to pre-K. All the teachers are affectionate, caring, and very much involved in kids physical, emotional and intellectual development, and are like an extended family to us. Their director Sasha pays a close attention to the well-being of all the kids and has also ensured that kids have a good mix of activities planned every day from music classes to sports. They also organize fun social events throughout the year, including recitals, winter concert, summer graduations, and Halloween parades. Their extended opening time (7.30 am-6pm) has helped us tremendously through all these years. Their location is very convenient for driving (with ample off-street parking) or taking public transportation. The park next to the facility is a great place to bond with other families. They have an open-door policy, and very flexible in general. After reopening during the Covid-19 pandemic, they have taken extreme precautions to ensure the safety of their kids and staff, while maintaining a fun and nurturing atmosphere for the kids. We are extremely thankful for the key role the first path daycare community has played in our lives over the years.

  We had a great experience with First Path Day Care. They pay great attention to physical and emotional well-being of children and nurture them with many different academic, artistic and sport programs. It is run by a great director Alexandra ( known to us all as Sasha) who very responsive to all our concerns and questions. She is very experienced and always present and even takes time to read to kids daily. The staff and students all come from different backgrounds and diversity is appreciated. It may not have the fancy look of bigger chain daycares but individual attention paid to each family and child, sincere care is much more important. The location is perfect with a playground next to the building and public library in walking distance where kids sometimes takes a field trip. The daycare center is well rooted in the community and it matters a lot. The extra precautions they took after Coronavirus epidemic was impeccable. They kept families informed in every stage, gave us clear guidelines as to reopenning schedules. They went even beyond their measures to obtain all the PPE and cleaning materials to make everyone feel safe and at ease. I highly recommend them to any family interested.

  I was unbelievably fortunate to have found this place. My little girl has been there for 4 years. I appreciate and thank all of you for being such wonderful teachers, people, friends, and now family. She got fun but with an education. I call it a solid foundation. I truly don't have the words to express how grateful we are. A better future will come because of all of you. Thank you for everything!

  Our experience with First Path has been wonderful! Before our son joined First Path at 1.8 years, he had been under the care of a nanny and did not learn much - In fact, he would not even hold his own milk cup! Within a year, under the love and care of his AMAZING teachers, he experienced exponential learning (picked up good table manners, shared with other kids, became more social, and many more). Sasha is a great Director - She makes sure that every kid gets her individual attention and is well taken care of. She has several solid years of experience and has given us quite a few useful parenting tips to help raise our kid well. With close proximity to the playground, very loving & patient teachers, and well-planned activities (including weekly music classes), First Path provides a very wholesome and nurturing atmosphere to the kids. We owe a lot to this daycare and are grateful to have chosen it over any other daycare in the area!
