Fostering Family Engagement and a Love of Learning for Improved Educational Outcomes
Novi, Michigan (January 29, 2026) – Learning Care Group (LCG), a nationwide provider of early education and child care, hosted children’s art showcases across the country at local schools.
As families walked the hallways and classrooms and participated in the creative process with their children, they saw more than just their child’s artwork on display – they saw a glimpse of LCG’s research-backed curriculum at work.
“Our programming is designed the way children naturally learn – through exploration and discovery,” said Dr. Johnna Weller, Chief Academic Officer for Learning Care Group. “Every paint stroke and doodle sets the foundation for future skills like writing and creative problem solving. We’re not just making art; we’re developing future-ready learners.”
And the benefits of this event extend beyond the drawing table.
According to Dr. Weller, “Early family engagement is a key indicator of a child’s educational success. The more families get involved in their child’s education, the more likely the child is to have a positive educational outcome. By inviting families’ participation in their school community, we give them the opportunity to be a part of their child’s educational experience early on, setting the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.”
LCG schools provide a comprehensive early education experience with healthy meals and snacks, live streaming video access for parents, and the exclusive SproutAbout mobile app for daily communication and ongoing family engagement. Programs are designed to foster learning, creativity, and connection in a nurturing setting.
LCG Brands include: AppleTree & Gilden Woods, Childtime Learning Centers, Creative Kids, Everbrook Academy, La Petite Academy, Montessori Unlimited, Pathways Learning Academy, The Children’s Courtyard, Tutor Time, U-GRO and Young School.
