About
Pathways
for Children
Helping children and families thrive for 50 years.
Who We Are
Pathways' services began in 1967 with the founding of our Head Start preschool classrooms on Cape Ann, and we have continued growing and adapting since that time in order to meet the changing needs of our communities.
With educational programming for children from birth to 13, robust social support services for families throughout Essex County, and professional development initiatives designed to inspire the next generation of teachers and youth/family services workers, Pathways is helping children and families thrive.
What We Do
Pathways for Children nurtures children and supports families impacted by economic and social inequity through programs that educate, enrich, empower and motivate.
At Pathways, we have the desire and commitment to do more, reach more, nurture more, and serve more. With an eye toward our future, we are investing in strengths-based programming for children and families and refining our business model and expectations to meet emerging community needs. We seek out collaborations and partnerships that strengthen not only Pathways, but our sector, too. We are fortunate to live in a community with such depth and diversity of talent, skill, and compassion. By working together, we create new opportunity.
