Services
Pathways LA strengthens low-income and vulnerable working families, promotes high quality early care and education services for children of all abilities, develops knowledgeable early care providers and promotes economically resilient communities. Since its founding Pathways LA has been committed to the healthy development and school readiness of young children from disadvantaged communities.
The greatest investment a society can make is in the well-being of its children. Unfortunately, families living in low-income communities face many obstacles to accessing the best opportunities for their kids. Due to systemic and structural inequalities our neighbors are often locked out because of their race, class, gender or zip code.
Tamika Farr is a strategically focused Chief Executive Officer holding a bachelor's degree in child development, a master's degree in business administration, an executive leadership certification from Cornell University, and over 13 years of nonprofit executive management experience. Tamika Farr's previous work experience includes serving as Executive Director of El Centro de Amistad.
California's early childhood care system has long been held together by women such as Tanya Garca, whose Hollywood duplex is home to two licensed day-care operations serving as many as 28 youngsters - among them the children of healthcare workers and public school teachers. With the economy continuing to crater, there is intense pressure to begin to open California businesses.
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.

Before i could even get into the store a secueity guard or store owner approached my car.
demanding to know why i parked here. i replied for the stores(i was looking,to buy some flowers from anna's flowers) he started quizing me demanding to know exactly what store. first off no one should ever approach another human being in this way ever but second the fact i came to shop and thrown out of their parking garage 15 minutes prior to the shop closing. if i could give ot 0 stars i would and i hope no one ever have such a experience like mine
