EnglishWhat is Learning Care?
Updated
Learning Care is a U.S. early childhood education and child care provider that operates a nationwide network of preschools and child care centers, and also offers child care solutions to employers. It is relevant to you if you are a parent looking for a preschool or daycare, or an employer or organization exploring child care benefits for your workforce. According to its website, Learning Care supports 11 brands across more than 1,150 preschools nationwide, and has been operating since it opened its first school in 1967.
What Learning Care offers
Learning Care describes itself as a nurturing early education company focused on making a positive impact on the children, families, and communities it serves. Its stated approach to early childhood education is a journey that starts with care, comfort, and safety, then continues into exploration, learning, and growth. The company says it creates spaces where children are supported and encouraged, and where each child's unique identity can flourish.
Its services fall into two broad areas:
- For families: preschool and child care programs delivered through its network of centers and brands. The site's main family-facing action is finding a nearby school.
- For employers and organizations: custom child care solutions, including funded child care, back-up/emergency care, onsite child care, onsite solutions for nonprofits, consulting services, and benefit broker services.
The brands and network behind it
Learning Care Group, now presented simply as Learning Care, is the parent organization behind multiple child care brands. The site states it supports 11 brands across 1,150+ preschools nationwide. This matters if you are comparing providers: the name on your local center may be one of those brands rather than "Learning Care" itself, even though the underlying organization and standards are shared.
The company also notes a name change: Learning Care Group is now Learning Care, with new signage at its headquarters in Novi, Michigan. It says the purpose behind the organization has not changed.
How to tell if it fits your situation
| If you are... | What Learning Care may be relevant for |
|---|---|
| A parent or guardian | Finding a local preschool or child care center through its school locator |
| An employer | Exploring child care benefits such as back-up/emergency care or onsite child care |
| A nonprofit | Onsite child care solutions |
| A benefits broker | Broker services and consulting around child care benefits |
The site also points to resources on the importance of early childhood education, health and safety, military families, summer camp, and diversity and inclusion, which can help you judge whether its educational philosophy matches what you want for your child.
What to check before deciding
The website's primary calls to action are "Find your school" and "Schedule a call," so the practical next step depends on which side you are on:
- Families: use the school finder to see whether there is a location near you, then contact that center directly. Availability, hours, ages served, and tuition are set at the center level and are not listed on the pages summarized here.
- Employers and organizations: use the employer solutions contact path to discuss funded child care, back-up/emergency care, onsite child care, or consulting services, since these are custom arrangements rather than off-the-shelf products.
Because pricing, specific program details, and enrollment terms are not provided in the source material, confirm those directly with the relevant center or the employer solutions team rather than assuming them from the website.
