My son started going to First Path when he was four and spent there about a year until he went to K. We were so impressed by the quality of the care that we signed up our infant daughter (5 months old now) as soon as the spot in the infant room became available. The teachers are very caring - my son still loves to stop by and everyone greets him, though it has been almost a year since he graduated. For older kids, there are tons of structured activities as well as free play. They also do regular trips to the library nearby, fire station, etc. There is a small playground next door, where kids go twice a day - it was very important for me that my son was getting enough exercise, and boy he got it. He was in preK class there, and they made a lot of effort to prepare kids for the transition to K, which went very smoothly for my son. As for the infant room, the teachers helped a lot with transition for my daughter and I feel that she is getting a lot of attention on a daily basis. I stopped by during different times of the day and always saw that someone was holding her or playing with her (unless she was asleep). Though she had a bit of a hard time in the beginning, now she is very happy when she sees her teachers. I always get reports on what happened during the day, if she was crying or happy, what she liked to do, etc. I love it that even infants are taken for walks once or twice a day, unless the weather is nasty. The building itself is on the smaller side and a little old, but I had a bad experience with another daycare that had top notch space and disappointing teaching strategies, so I guess now the facility looks do not really matter a lot for me - as long as my kids are happy and thriving. And they are.

First Path is amazing. The prices are reasonable, yet the children get first class treatment. My son is almost 4 and has been going there since he was 10 months old. Like a lot of kids, he had a bit of separation anxiety at first, but the teachers and owner did all they could to ease our minds and help him through the tough time. Within weeks, though, he was loving it, and has loved it every step of the way since then. The transitions from one class to the next were seamless. The owner took the time to get our son adjusted a bit at a time, letting him spend some time in the next class up here and there before immersing him full time. This allowed him to get comfortable and excited about each move, instead of dreading leaving the comfort and security of where he was. And we really loved the fact that he was moving into a different class every so often (4 classes in his 3 years there so far), keeping him challenged with kids in his age bracket, rather than mixing 1 year olds with 3 year olds, which we saw in other day cares when we were searching. The teachers in every single class have been incredible. They really care about the children, and our son developed strong bonds with teachers in every class. They seem to really connect with the kids, keeping them well behaved without being too strict or reprimanding. I really couldnt be happier with the care and education my son received at First Path. I would choose it again and again, even against the more expensive day cares.

I had my 2 year old has been in First Path for almost a year and overall Im very Happy! This is my 2nd child so I am no longer a helicopter mom. I value big hearts and big smiles much more than any other thing. We had loving teachers. They listen to you as a parent and give advice on their daily routine. I had expectations for my son to be a happy kid at day care and first path met my expectations. It has everything a kid his age needs. Enough toys and structure + academic activities. My son is surprising me with letter recognition and he colors like a 3yeAr old now (and hes 2)! Aside from the regular activities, they provide sports , chorals and piano lessons once a week as extras. I made it to the year end concert before we have to relocAte again... The piano teacher is GOOD ! The thing I value the most at First Path daycare is the exposure to an international environment and culture ! Most teachers speak more than one language and they don’t hesitate to use their second language with your child if you ask them to. In my case the teacher uses French with my son (and I am happy to have my son learn my own language). I also know many kids their who are learning Russian and Spanish from the staff. You do have to bring your own food for your child, but aside from that their care is exemplary.

Thank You!! Thank You!! We are very lucky to find First Path Day care for our Twin Boys. The staff is very friendly and the kids love to come to the day care. This is the best I could have wished for!! I feel so secure knowing my sons are in a safe environment and in loving hands. I must not miss to say that the director Sasha is awesome. She takes parents concerns very seriously and makes sure that the kids are doing well and are safe in all ways. She has been such an incredible help in guiding me to be a better parent and I cannot Thank her enough for the time she took to help me manage the tantrums of the kids and also how much it has helped my boys to grow as more disciplined individuals.The combination of Sashas professional and parenting experience are a magical mix. The teachers are very loving and caring to the kids. Thank You First Path for the love, care and education you have bestowed on our kids.My sons have learned so much from this day care and are so excited to come every day and love to engage with their teachers and friends.. I am very positive that they are so much ready for kindergarten!! We will miss coming here everyday after the boys move to kindergarten this fall!!

I am thankful for this daycare center and staff. Staff are dedicated, experienced and caring. The Director is wonderful and she was a key when it came to coaching me though tough times when my child wouldnt listen. They focus on each child and help them learn and develop key skills. I knew all of my sons teachers, kids and families. They also collaborate with music teachers and Amazing Athletes. My son made friends and I always felt that he was safe and in good hands. Diverse environment and teachers with many years of experience - thank you all for taking care of my child.

First Path day care is AWESOME!! Our son was there for 5 years and loved every single day ! The director and the teachers really really care about the children and provide a wonderful, happy, nurturing environment. We are very happy that our son was able to spend the first few years there and has very happy and fond memories. The Director as well as the teachers are extremely affectionate, disciplined, and organized. Ritu and Sean

First Path Daycare is a wonderful center. Our son really enjoyed his time there and was always so happy to go. The teachers were really invested in my sons well being and were so caring and responsive to him. The director was very knowledgeable and was always able to provide any advice when asked. I would highly recommend parents who need daycare services to check out First Path.
