BrightPath Clarence Child Care Center

"Our children have been attending the Clarence EduKids center for the past 8 years; 2 of them aging out and one still enrolled in the school age program. Paola and her staff are beyond marvelous. Kind and respectful interactions, high focus on social/emotional health and wellbeing, along with engaging opportunities for play and exploration are what our children have come to expect and count on. All 3 of our children have thrived within the Clarence center, being taken care of with kindness, compassion, and patience. Now, more than ever, we have realized the impact Paola and her staff have had on our family; dropping off at the center knowing that our children are spending their days in classrooms that are predictable, safe, secure and enriching."

"We have been a Clarence EduKids family for almost 5 years and we couldn’t ask for a better place for our children to be at in our absence. The staff, led by Ms. Paola, has created a stable, secure, caring and supportive environment. My children have thrived under her/their care. Ms. Paola leads her team by example: her children always come first. Their strengths are discovered and encouraged; their needs identified and addressed; milestones are celebrated, no matter how big or small; their families’ input is acknowledged and appreciated. My children are happy and well-taken care of at EduKids when I am at work. The new normal for my now school-aged child is working in part due to the team at EduKids. My youngest has had a smooth transition to the new safety protocols. My children’s day at EduKids ends with a goodbye to Ms. Paola; they’re sad when they miss that opportunity - to me, that says it all."

"Our children have attended Edukids for years, since infant-hood. Every day, our children go into the building, happy to be there. They could not have a better, more stable, safe, happy and developmentally appropriate place to go for pre-school. Paola and her staff truly care about the children and do an incredible job of caring for and educating them. Well before COVID-19, Paola and her team were true partners of ours in the care for our children. They have always made themselves available to discuss concerns and help work through any issues the children had. As a result, our children are happy, well-adjusted and love Edukids. Now, in the current COVID-19 environment, we are especially thankful to have Paola and her team at the Clarence center as part of our circle. When everything shut down, we saw first hand how much our children missed Edukids, and how thrown off they were. As soon as Edukids re-opened, we sent the children back. The stability and care that Paola and the team are providing the children right now, even in the midst of safety precautions and process changes, is beyond incredible and we are so very thankful. With one child in elementary school, we have seen how well prepared (academically, socially and emotionally) our child was to go off to school, and we owe a great deal of that to the Edukids experience."

"My three children have attended the Clarence Edukids location for over five years. The director, Paola, is absolutely fantastic. She is always available and responsive when I have any questions or concerns. Paola is an incredibly kind person who treats my children with love and compassion. Our experiences with the teachers have also been very positive. I always find the staff to be welcoming- smiling and greeting my little ones when they are dropped off. The teachers plan engaging activities throughout the day incorporating multiple facets of play and learning. We have been very happy :)"

"EduKids is amazing!! Miss Paola is a great Director and the staff are so welcoming. I highly recommend for your children."
