Child Care for Military Families

Meaningful Care and a Path Forward

Every child deserves a path that leads to a lifetime of learning. At Pathways Learning Academy, we provide meaningful, nurturing care and hands-on early education for children from infancy through age 12. Each child explores, discovers, and develops the confidence and essential skills to navigate their future.

Community support is our calling, especially when it comes to military families. Military life requires resilience. Finding quality child care should not be a challenge. Whether you’re paying directly or receiving government assistance, Pathways Learning Academy is committed to making exceptional early childhood education accessible to every military family we serve.

As a thank you for your service, active duty military families receive a 10% tuition discount when paying without government assistance.*

Thank you for your service. Supporting families like yours is our privilege.
