First Path Daycare Center 25 Whites Avenue, Watertown, MA 02472

"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!"

"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 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!"

"When we toured First path Daycare something the director (Sasha) said to me really stuck, "The most important thing we teach the children is love". I have found that to be true. My son started at First Path when he was 3 months old. Now he is almost 2. There is a lot I like about the school including how involved Sasha is - I don't know how she does it but I feel like she has a handle on what's going on with each and every child every single day. The teachers are great. You can see they genuinely love their children. My son has learned so much. He does art projects everyday. He is always so proud to show me what he has created. First Path offers music class weekly which was VERY appealing to me when we initially signed up. In addition, they have access to a great playground and make sure to bring the children outside for fresh air whenever possible. We have been very pleased with them."
