Testimonials

  • There is nothing in this universe that is equivalent to the value of work Pathways, Inc. does. In my circumstance, they provided me with resources that lead to me beginning a fully independent lifestyle and travel thousands of miles around the world when I was never supposed to walk a day in my life.

    Logan Knowles, Former Recipient of Family Support Services
  • I find purpose, direction, and meaning in the work I do at Pathways, Inc. Over the years, I have worked with incredible people who have been my mentors and supported my professional growth. My goal is to create a learning culture for new staff who are just starting out in the field.

    Dana Hamann, Education Coordinator at Pathways, Inc.
  • Our son has been at ECFC since I finished maternity leave and returned to work. Two years later and not a day has gone by that we don't feel like he gets exceptional care and a second to none education. It is so much more than a "daycare" with such phenomenal staff and programming it is like a second family and home for us.

    Shelby Bierwiler, ECFC Parent
  • As parents we want our children to be well taken care of and while no one will care for your child like you, ECFC comes close. The teachers talk to the parents to ensure their concerns and requests are being responded to. This helps keep a level of continuity from home to center. The administration is always willing to answer any questions or provide additional information.
