The IRS classified the organization as one that is not a private foundation within the meaning of section 509(a) of the Code because it is an organization described in section(s) 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(A)(vi).Pathways LA has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Section 740-10, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. ASC Section 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Section 740-10 requires that an organization recognize in the financial statements the impact of the tax position if that position will more likely than not be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position.

Part III, 4b Statement of Program Service Accomplishments Other Programs consist of the following:QRIS: QSLA supports professionals from licensed childcare centers and family childcare homes through professional development, including specialized training sessions, individualized coaching, and access to cutting-edge resources and funding opportunities.FCCHEN:Pathways LA also provides professional development coaching services through our Family Child Care Home Education Network (FCCHEN). FCCHEN is a group of licensed family childcare providers in MetroLos Angeles, which are carefully selected home-based programs that combine the standards of a first-rate childcare center with the personal touch and familiarity of a home environment. Participants in FCCHEN receive ongoing training, professional development, and technical assistance, as well as individual on-site or virtual coaching sessions.Foster Care Bridge: The Emergency Child Care Bridge Program for Foster Children is a unique childcare subsidy program that not only provides eligible families with a time-limited childcare voucher to help pay for childcare costs for foster children, birth through age 5, and their siblings, but also offers Trauma-Informed Care services to childcare programs across Los Angeles County. Trauma-Informed Care Training & Coaching Services are provided to childcare providers serving children enrolled in this program. Childcare providers receive specialized, evidence-based training on a variety of trauma-informed care topics, including the core curriculum series, historical trauma topics, and trauma-informed care specific to infants and toddlers. In addition, childcare providers receive individual on-site or virtual coaching sessions to help them integrate their learning into practice.Family Engagement: Pathways LA acknowledges the need to support families beyond the need for child care; therefore, we offer the Family Engagement (FE) Program, which aims to lift the strengths of the family, educate and empower parents/caregivers, reduce parental stress that can contribute to abuse and neglect, and increase school-readiness based on the Strengthening Families Framework. In the FE program we offer Parent Education and Training: focused on supporting parent/caregiver knowledge and awareness of various child development topics; Play & Learn Groups: small group settings that include story-time and activities bringing families, children, and caregivers together to model positive adult-child interaction with activities easily duplicated in the home; Parent Cafes: small group settings where parents explore different parenting topics, providing them with the opportunity to learn from other parents and build social connections within their community; Special Events: throughout the year we offer a variety of large group gatherings that offer free and safe opportunities for families to partake in activities, live entertainment, gather information from other community resources, receive food, toys, books, and other family essentials.Books, Bikes, & Full Bellies: In honor of the legacy of Jessie Salazar, Pathways LAs former Executive Director, who served the agency for 27 years and passed away in September 2020, we launched an annual fundraiser to provide books, bikes, and food boxes to children and families in the communities, representing various passions of Jessies and meeting the needs of those that we serve.Total program expenses were $1,582,850.
