Children are the heart and soul of our society, and investing in their well-being is the most important thing we can do. But not all families have the same access to opportunities for their kids, especially those in low-income communities.
Our neighbors often face challenges and roadblocks due to unfair inequalities in their race, class, gender, or where they live. Pathways LA works towards a more inclusive society where all children have a fair chance to thrive, regardless of their background.
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 work for 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.
At Pathways LA, we are dedicated to fairness and making sure that every child, parent, and childcare provider has the same opportunities, regardless of the challenges they may face due to inequality in our society.
Equality is at the heart of everything we do, from meeting families where they are and working together with those who care about the success of all children. With our diverse approach and the support of our passionate community members, we can create a pathway for all children to reach a bright future.
Every single day our team of experts are fighting for the future. We know that children will thrive when their parents and child care providers are supported by community organizations and family-forward public policy.

I was part of an abusive relationship, and overnight I became a single parent with no job. Pathways LA helped me find childcare while I looked for work, and after I started working and was able to provide for my son.
