Cristin Clarke, Owner Willow Path's owner Cristin Clarke discovered her love of childcare by chance. Her children's Bright Horizons childcare center lost its lease unexpectedly in the spring of 2002. Forty-five families were faced with the prospect of finding alternative childcare services. Cristin was successful in rallying support for the founding of a new center, meeting the childcare needs of thirty-six families. Willow Path Childcare is the culmination of Cristin's efforts and experience in the childcare industry. She proudly presents Willow Path Childcare as a new industry standard toward which others will strive. Cristin graduated from Boston University with a B.S. in Business Administration. She lives in Brookline with her husband, son, and daughter.
