Childtime Learning Centers

Childtime Learning Centers, a prominent name in early childhood education and care, operates as a division of Learning Care Group. Established in 1967, Childtime has become a trusted provider in the U.S., offering programs for children from infancy through school age. The centers focus on a holistic curriculum that nurtures social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development, aiming to instill curiosity and independence in young learners.

A pivotal moment in Childtime’s journey was its integration into Learning Care Group, one of North America's largest for-profit child care providers. This partnership has allowed Childtime to enhance its educational offerings and operational standards by tapping into shared resources and best practices. As of November 2025, Childtime operates over 200 centers across more than 30 states, with a strong presence in both suburban and urban areas.

In recent years, Childtime has concentrated its expansion efforts in high-growth regions such as Texas, California, Florida, and the Midwest. The company is actively developing new centers and acquiring existing ones to meet the growing demand for quality child care. Childtime strategically places its centers in accessible, family-friendly neighborhoods, often near major employment centers and residential areas.

For commercial real estate professionals, Childtime's established brand, scale, and affiliation with a stable parent company make it a desirable tenant. The company’s need for adaptable, well-located spaces and its preference for long-term leases make it a reliable anchor for retail and mixed-use developments. Childtime's flexible center formats, which include standalone buildings and integrated spaces within larger complexes, offer diverse real estate partnership opportunities.

Looking ahead, Childtime is poised for further growth, leveraging the resources of Learning Care Group and its own strong brand reputation. The company is committed to expanding its reach in both established and emerging markets, continuing to deliver high-quality early education and care to families across the United States.
