3. Children's Online Privacy Protection (COPPA)

Learning Pathways operates early childhood education programs for children aged two (2) through kindergarten. Protecting children's privacy is of the utmost importance:

  1. Parental Submissions Only: Our Website is directed to parents, legal guardians, and adult educators. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of thirteen (13) online.
  2. Verifiable Parental Consent: All child-specific information (such as a child's name, age, birth date, and medical/developmental information) must be submitted exclusively by a parent or legal guardian through our authorized enrollment forms or portals.
  3. Parental Rights under COPPA: Parents and legal guardians have the right to review the personal information we maintain regarding their child, request the deletion of such records, and refuse any further collection of their child's data by contacting us directly at Office@learningpw.com.

4. How We Use Collected Information

We use personal information exclusively for educational, operational, and administrative purposes:

  • Evaluating enrollment applications, managing waitlists, and scheduling school tours.
  • Communicating with parents regarding registration status, classroom schedules, orientation materials, and emergency announcements.
  • Maintaining mandatory state licensing compliance and child safety records mandated by the State of California.
  • Maintaining the security, functionality, and accessibility of our Website.

5. Third-Party Service Providers & Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information, nor do we share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We share information only with trusted third-party service providers bound by strict confidentiality obligations:

  • Childcare Management & Enrollment Portals: We partner with Procare Software LLC for online registration and childcare administration.
  • Tuition Payment Processing: Electronic tuition payments are processed via Tuition Express. Payment card and bank routing details are processed directly by our payment gateway; full financial card numbers are not stored on our web servers.
