Tutor Time

Tutor Time is a U.S. early education and child care brand that serves infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school‑age children through full‑day care and preschool programs. It operates as one of several banners within Learning Care Group, Inc., which is among the largest for‑profit child care providers in North America. As of December 2025, Tutor Time centers are part of a platform of more than 1,000 schools across the Learning Care Group family, giving the brand national reach, institutional backing, and consistent operating standards.

Tutor Time’s origins are tied to the broader consolidation of early childhood education companies that ultimately formed Learning Care Group. Over several decades, the parent company assembled multiple well‑known school brands under a single corporate structure. Tutor Time, which began as a stand‑alone concept, was gradually incorporated into this portfolio alongside banners such as La Petite Academy and Childtime. A key milestone for the enterprise came when Learning Care Group surpassed 1,000 schools nationwide and attracted private equity ownership, which helped fund upgrades to facilities, safety systems, and curriculum across its brands. Within that larger system, Tutor Time has become one of the core formats focused on preschool and child care for working families.

During roughly the last five years, Tutor Time has evolved from a more independent school concept into a banner used strategically within Learning Care Group’s national growth plan. The brand is now deployed where its program mix and positioning best fit local family needs, while real estate, development, and many corporate functions are managed centrally by the parent. This shift has allowed the company to standardize quality, streamline site selection, and expand in a more coordinated way across high‑growth U.S. markets.

Today, Tutor Time locations are typically found in infill suburban corridors, major metropolitan areas with strong family demographics, and established neighborhoods where quality child care is limited. Sites are often single‑tenant or small multi‑tenant buildings with dedicated outdoor play areas and on‑site parking, positioned near residential density and employment centers to support steady weekday enrollment. New locations come from a mix of ground‑up development, second‑generation school conversions, and select conversions of end‑cap or freestanding retail spaces that can accommodate classrooms and playgrounds with safe traffic circulation.

For landlords, brokers, and developers, Tutor Time operates within a scaled, institutionally backed platform that favors long‑term leases and invests significant capital in specialized interior buildouts. Learning Care Group’s centralized real estate and development team evaluates markets with strong population and employment growth, favorable licensing environments, and constrained supply of quality child care. As a result, Tutor Time centers often serve as stable, daily‑use anchors for neighborhood and community centers and as traffic drivers in suburban retail corridors and purpose‑built freestanding sites. In most transactions, owners and investors look at the Learning Care Group credit profile and operating history, recognizing that Tutor Time functions as part of a larger, professionally managed national child care network.
