Learning Care Group News: June 23, 2021
NOVI, Mich., June 23, 2021 – Learning Care Group, Inc. today announced its acquisition of Prestige Preschool Academy, 23 preschools serving families in California, Colorado, Minnesota, and Virginia. Learning Care Group is the second-largest for-profit early education and childcare provider in North America.
“With its emphasis on supporting whole child development through high-quality care in a safe, engaging learning environment, Prestige Preschool Academy is a natural fit for Learning Care Group,” noted Mark Bierley, CEO at Learning Care Group. “We look forward to inspiring young learners at these locations for many years to come.”
At Prestige Preschool Academy, skilled and dedicated teachers provide exceptional care, fostering each child’s physical, intellectual, social, and emotional development in a fun, child-centric learning environment. The educational experience is designed to enhance children’s natural curiosity about the world around them and to give them the tools to succeed. Through guided instruction and imaginative play, children make daily discoveries, master new skills, test their own abilities, and build confidence. Schools serve children ages 6 weeks to 12 years.
“It’s been an honor to serve families in our school communities by offering the finest care and early education,” said Steven Bush, founder and former President of Prestige Preschool Academy. “I’m confident that under Learning Care Group’s leadership, these schools will continue to bring children joy while helping them to learn, thrive and achieve their full potential.”
As these schools join the Learning Care Group portfolio, which now includes nearly 1,000 locations, they will initially continue to operate as Prestige Preschool Academy facilities. Over the next year, they will transition to operating as Everbrook Academy, La Petite Academy and The Children’s Courtyard schools.
