About us
Pathways LA supports the healthy development and school readiness of young children from disadvantaged communities. Driven by data and innovation, our experts support the continuum of care that includes parents, child care providers, community partners and policymakers. We believe that all children share a future full of endless possibilities. By giving parents a voice and meeting their unique needs, they are empowered to work or further their education, knowing their children are safe and cared for. We create opportunities to explore the joys of parenthood and lean on a supportive community during difficult times. Our commitment to equity is defined by addressing the barriers that children, parents, and childcare providers face resulting from systemic and structural inequality. Equity is inherent in our approach of meeting families where they are and how we partner with those who care for the success of all children. Equity is both a noun for a better future and a verb of ongoing action. Through our multi-pronged approach, and in partnership with passionate members of our community, we can collectively build the pathway for all children to reach a bright future.
