The Children’s Courtyard began as a preschool in Arlington, Texas in 1986. It now operates more than 50 schools for infants, preschoolers and school-age children in the Austin, Houston and Dallas/Fort Worth areas. The Children’s Courtyard is a division of Learning Care Group, Inc., the second largest for-profit early child care and education provider in North America.
On January 10th, 2006, Learning Care Group, Inc. was acquired by A.B.C. Learning Centres Limited (ASX: ABS) - the largest child care service provider in Australia. Most recently, the company was taken private with Morgan Stanley Private Equity purchasing a 60 percent stake on June 25, 2008. This joint venture allows us to continue our strategic growth plan and remain focused on providing the highest quality care across all of our brands.
Guiding our efforts are the Mission, Vision and Values we have identified to define a culture of service and professional excellence. We are proud of the reputation we have earned in the child care services industry.
As part of the Learning Care Group family, The Children’s Courtyard is poised to become the premier child and family education corporation in the world.
The Children’s Courtyard offers high-quality early childhood education and care in beautiful home-like settings that are furnished with state-of-the-art, age-appropriate equipment to meet children’s developmental needs. We understand that all children have different learning styles and cultures, so our teaching approach takes into account each child’s individuality. Our teaching materials include systems for assessment of educational skills so teachers can build concrete, purposeful learning activities for each child.
