  • Honestly, I have some mixed feelings about Pathways. While the teachers seem sweet with the toddlers, the facility itself feels like it needs a major deep clean. I actually went looking for their recent health inspection data after my little one kept coming home with mystery rashes and a constant cough, and it's super frustrating that the reports aren't easily accessible or shared with us parents. It feels like we're kept in the dark about what's actually going on with the building maintenance. The communication when there’s a bug going around the classroom is also pretty spotty—I usually find out from other moms in the parking lot rather than the staff. For the price, I really expected a much higher standard of hygiene and a more proactive approach to keeping the kids healthy.
