  • It’s been a bit of a mixed bag at Pathways. On one hand, I really appreciate that they updated their cleaning protocols recently; you can tell they're trying to keep the rooms scrubbed down and they seem to stay on top of the 'wash your hands' routine with the toddlers. They also work with different community programs, so they have some resources other small daycares might not have. However, like any city daycare, it feels like once one kid gets a sniffle, it just circles through the whole class for weeks. The communication when a bug is going around could definitely be faster—sometimes I don't find out about a breakout until my kid is already home with a fever. It’s an okay spot, but you definitely have to stay on top of them regarding wellness updates.
