Learning Care and Faith Promise Open New Early Childcare Center

Pathways Learning Academy at Faith Promise Pellissippi celebrates grand opening with ribbon cutting supported by Knoxville Chamber

Learning Care, a nationwide provider of early education and childcare, will celebrate the grand opening of Pathways Learning Academy, a new early childcare center located on the Faith Promise Pellissippi campus at 10740 Faith Promise Lane in Knoxville, Tenn.

A ribbon cutting ceremony celebrating the opening will be held Tuesday, July 21, from 4 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., supported by the Knoxville Chamber. Members of the media are invited to attend.

The opening marks a strategic partnership between Learning Care and Faith Promise to bring premium early education to families across Tennessee. This is the first Pathways Learning Academy to open as part of the partnership, with a second location slated to open later this summer at Faith Promise North Knox in Knoxville, Tenn.

"We're proud to partner with Faith Promise to bring Pathways Learning Academy to families across Tennessee," said Ian Fleming, VP of Strategic Partnerships at Learning Care. "By pairing our best-in-class curriculum and operations with a church community that's deeply invested in the families it serves, we're able to open the doors to reliable, premium early education while helping Faith Promise extend its mission to the youngest members of these communities."

Pathways Learning Academy is backed by Learning Care's nearly 60 years of experience, giving churches and community organizations access to proven operations, top safety and security protocols, and a research-based curriculum, while leaving ministry-led programming in the hands of church staff.

"We couldn't be more excited to welcome Pathways Learning Academy into our space," said Kristen Rogers, Central fpKIDS Pastor at Faith Promise. "It's an incredible opportunity to partner with families every single week, build relationships that matter, and create a place where kids are known, loved, and encouraged. We believe this is one more way our church gets to invest in the next generation and make a lasting impact in our community."

Pathways Learning Academy at Faith Promise Pellissippi will offer programs for infants, toddlers, preschool, and pre-K, each designed to support children at their own stage of development. The curriculum brings the world into every classroom through integrated, hands-on experiences that inspire curiosity, confidence, and creativity, guided by credentialed, caring educators who bring a whole-child approach to teaching. Tuition pricing includes diapers, meals and snacks, as well as daily updates on each child's experience via Learning Care's proprietary SproutAbout app that includes live streaming access.
