The Children's Courtyard Blog

At our Learning Care schools, we focus on helping children build active bodies and active minds—and that includes thoughtful, developmentally appropriate use of screens with an educational focus.

The more we study how children learn, the more we understand that play is the method that helps young children acquire new skills. When children play, they do much more than have fun. They’re actively building important skills that support their early growth and development.

Time spent outdoors creates more than just fun moments. It builds lasting memories and nurtures a child’s natural curiosity about the world.

Finding the right child care solution is one of the biggest decisions working parents face. With busy schedules, varying work hours, and the ongoing balance between family and career, navigating the many options can feel overwhelming. The good news? There is not a single “correct” answer.

Family-Teacher Conferences are more than a scheduled meeting. They’re an opportunity to celebrate your child’s learning and help strengthen the partnership between home and school.

In our Learn as We Grow curriculum, Cause and Effect is a six-week concept that invites children to observe, investigate, and make discoveries by experimenting with actions and reactions. 

We have learned that children between the ages of one and three are more likely to peck and poke at their food. Try these 11 proven tips for encouraging your toddler to eat nutritiously.

During this season in our classrooms, children are exploring the Learn as We Grow concept of Compare & Contrast. When children learn how to compare and contrast, they’re not just identifying differences; they’re learning how to think.

Even during school breaks, children thrive when they know what to expect. Research shows that consistent routines reduce anxiety and strengthen learning outcomes.

Our company-wide Teacher In-Service Day on October 13 allowed Learning Care Group’s 24,000+ teachers to gather in their classrooms across the country for interactive and valuable sessions that enhance the meaningful care and early education we provide for families and children.

At Learning Care Group, we believe that great child care supports the whole family. Our classrooms are places where curiosity blooms, relationships grow, and learning comes to life.

At our community of schools, teachers use practices rooted in our exclusive Learn as We Grow curriculum and transition guides to help children feel safe and welcome from the very first moment of the day to the last.
