Learning Care

They rode to the challenge, with heart!

Our Learning Care schools across the country came together for a shared purpose: supporting children and families served by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital®.

During the annual St. Jude Trike-A-Thon, children learned about safety, compassion, and the value of giving back while helping make a meaningful difference for families facing childhood cancer.

Thank you to our students, families, teachers, and school leaders for showing how small acts of kindness can create a lasting impact.

📢 Don't forget! Most of our schools will be closed on 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟐𝐭𝐡 for 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐃𝐚𝐲. 💙📚

Love to Learn Day is a dedicated time for our educators to grow together through professional development. They'll learn from experts and one another, explore the latest educational insights, review best safety practices, and gain valuable resources to support children and families.

By investing in their own growth, our teachers are ensuring that every child in our care has the support, inspiration, and opportunities they need to thrive. ✨

𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞: School participation may vary, and some locations will remain open. If you have questions about your school's schedule, please contact your local school directly. 🏫

Some teachers leave an impression for a school year. Others leave an impression for a lifetime.

This month, we're celebrating Miss Ann, Team Lead at La Petite Academy in Orlando, for 40 years in early childhood education. ❤️

Ann began her journey in childcare at just 16 years old and has spent the majority of her career with Learning Care, building meaningful connections with children and families along the way.

One of those connections lasted decades. After a former student's family moved out of state, Ann stayed in touch. Years later, she drove seven hours to surprise him at his high school graduation, and later made the same trip to attend his wedding.

It's a beautiful reminder that the impact of an educator reaches far beyond the classroom.

Thank you, Ann, for 40 years of caring, connecting, and inspiring generations of children. 🎉

Our schools are gearing up for the annual Trike-A-Thon benefiting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital® on October 1, and this year, the cause is especially close to our hearts.

At La Petite Academy of Kernersville, we are riding in honor of Jayden, a beloved student who has been part of our school family since infancy. Now 5 years old, Jayden is courageously facing a rare form of brain cancer and is currently receiving hospice care surrounded by the love of his family and friends. Jayden is a fighter and the fight is not over. ❤️

As a school community, we are committed to reaching our fundraising goal in Jayden's honor and helping support other children and families facing childhood cancer.

Every donation makes a difference. Join us in supporting the life-saving mission of St. Jude and families like Jayden's.

This fall, children in our schools will move for a meaningful cause.

The Trike-A-Thon on October 1 benefits St. Jude Children's Research Hospital® and helps children learn the power of kindness, compassion, and helping others.

For Pathways Learning Academy Director and childhood cancer survivor, Alesha Benkert, the mission is personal.

"It’s really important to be able to give back," says Alesha. At just 11 months old, she was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma and given a 17% chance of survival. Today, she's a school leader, a mom, and a passionate advocate for children.

Every donation helps support research, treatment, and resources for families battling childhood cancer. Thank you for helping us make a difference!

We're proud to announce our newest partner, The Faulkner Organization.

Together, we're helping working families thrive by giving Faulkner employees greater access to quality childcare and early education support at Learning Care schools nationwide. As a family-owned business since 1932, Faulkner values family. Providing childcare benefits to their employees is one way that they bring their mission to life.

Partnerships like this reflect what we believe: employers who invest in childcare access invest in their people, and it shows in retention, productivity, and peace of mind for working parents.
