Pathways

Pathways is a non-profit organization working to ensure that all children have access to qualitative, developmentally appropriate, educationally stimulating child care. Founded in 1978 by educator and activist Bea Gold, Pathways was an early leader in promoting child care programs that are inclusive of children with special needs. Today, the founding principles guide our work as we promote strengths-based education and best practices for child development.
It is our goal to increase the access of quality child care to families in our community. Pathways helps low income families pay for child care so they can pursue their educational and career goals. Our child care subsidy program now reaches over 3,500 families in Los Angeles County.

Pathways is proud to offer our services in English, Spanish, Russian, Armenian, Chinese and Korean and are continually striving to make our staff and our resources more accessible and useful.
