For Parents and Families

In addition to quality early education and care for children, what makes Pathways unique is the variety and abundance of family support services offered throughout our programs.We believe that parents are their child’s first and most important teacher. Research has shown a correlation between children’s success in their educational setting and the degree of involvement of their parents, so we make a variety of opportunities available.Pathwayshas a Social Service Department that includes Licensed Social Workers, Behavior Specialists and a Family Involvement Specialist.The Social Service Department also offers parent education and support groups throughout the year.We also schedule curriculum nights for families to visit their child’s classroom, talent shows, and family entertainment events. Make sure you read the monthly parent newsletter and review The Community Resource Guide and Parent Handbook which provide a wealth of information.
