Hi, friends! My name is Bailey-Anne, and I have worked in early childhood education for more than 10 years. I am passionate about helping young children build a strong foundation for lifelong learning because I believe every great adventure begins in preschool. I love partnering with families to nurture confident, curious learners who are ready to make a positive impact on the world. I'm so glad you're here, and I look forward to being part of your child's learning journey.

At Pathways Learning Academy at Cross Point Church, we maintain a secure learning environment through controlled building access, established safety procedures, and attentive supervision throughout the day. To ensure children are released only to approved individuals, families provide a list of authorized pickup contacts during enrollment. Our team verifies identification when necessary and requires parent or guardian authorization before releasing a child to anyone not previously approved. These practices help provide families with peace of mind, knowing their children are cared for in a safe, welcoming environment.
Pathways Learning Academy at Cross Point Church provides nutritious meals and snacks, with menus approved by a registered dietitian nutritionist and aligned with USDA nutrition and portion guidelines. If your child has a food allergy or dietary restriction, we’ll work with your family to understand their needs and develop an appropriate plan. Vegetarian options are available, and additional accommodations may be available for special dietary needs, religious requirements, or severe food allergies.

This consistent yet flexible routine helps children feel comfortable, confident, and excited to learn each day.
At Pathways Learning Academy at Cross Point Church, outdoor play is an important part of the daily routine, giving children opportunities to explore, stay active, and develop physical and social skills.
