Pathways LA is on a Mission

We are dedicated to building brighter futures for children and families across Metro Los Angeles County. Our 2024 Impact Report highlights the strides we’ve made in strengthening communities through quality child care, family engagement, and impactful partnerships. We are on a mission to empower and strengthen families, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive.

Our work showcases the transformative difference we make in the lives of families and child care providers. From empowering parents with essential resources to supporting providers with the tools they need to deliver quality care, our programs create meaningful change every day.
We believe that all children share a future full of endless possibilities. Driven by data and innovation, our experts support the continuum of care that includes parents, childcare providers, community partners, and policymakers.

Giving parents a voice and meeting their unique needs empowers them to attain an academic degree or vocational training, continue working, and know 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.
By the end of the fiscal year, we saw an increase in families impacted by our subsidized childcare programs. The parents we serve found economic opportunities as a result of their eligibility for our subsidized programs. Childcare providers discovered new ways to manage their business, understand trauma and its symptoms, and find camaraderie with their peers. Strategic partners continued to be engaged, participating in our signature events hosted by our Family Engagement program and exchanging information and resources.
