Log in for the first time
Your child’s Early Years Setting will create your parent account.
Once it’s ready, you’ll receive a welcome email with:
- Your username – usually in the format FirstnameSurnameChildfirstname, but it may vary
- A link to set your password – valid for 30 days
Click the link to create your password. If it expires, your setting can resend it.
Once your password is set, you can log in using the link in the email.
Important: You must use the personalised URL from the email — you can’t log in via the main Arc Pathway website (www.arcpathway.com).
💡 Tip: Save your personalised URL as a bookmark or favourite in your browser for quick access.
