Welcome Parents

Pathways LA believes every family should have access to quality child care, regardless of income. To that end, Pathways LA helps low income families pay for child care so they can pursue their educational and career goals. Each year we work to reach more community members with services such as child care, child care provider training and workshops, referrals and resources for families and care providers, and much more.

Choosing child care is one of the most important decisions families make, but all too often they must rely on word-of-mouth. Pathways LA’s Resource and Referral staff can help take the guesswork out of choosing care by providing free referrals to licensed child care providers as well as information regarding the different types of child care available to families.
