Children should be learning unconstrained skills. Unconstrained skills are also known as “overarching concepts and complex skills.” They have significance throughout our lives and are important across multiple contexts.

In Part 1 of our exploration of this topic, we revealed why unconstrained skills are essential for lifelong learning. Many parents may be wondering what this means for their own child and classroom experiences. Let’s dive into what it looks like in practice and how you can help support the process.

During this season in our classrooms, children are exploring the Learn as We Grow concept of Compare & Contrast. When children learn how to compare and contrast, they’re not just identifying differences; they’re learning how to think.

Smoothies aren’t just for sipping on during the summer! Try one of our Grow Fit inspired smoothie recipes! You may even enjoy our own spin on a “hot” smoothie. They’re best enjoyed on a chilly, winter day.

Even during school breaks, children thrive when they know what to expect. Research shows that consistent routines reduce anxiety and strengthen learning outcomes.

Effective mindfulness practices support children’s optimal development and physical, mental, and emotional well-being. In our Montessori classrooms, we promote mindfulness through the Positive Behavior Support process.

Our company-wide Teacher In-Service Day on October 13 allowed Learning Care Group’s 24,000+ teachers to gather in their classrooms across the country for interactive and valuable sessions that enhance the meaningful care and early education we provide for families and children.

To celebrate the rich history and contributions of Native American communities, our Education Team has selected a few picture books that are great for children of all ages. 

At Learning Care Group, we believe that great child care supports the whole family. Our classrooms are places where curiosity blooms, relationships grow, and learning comes to life.

With the shift of the seasons outside comes an exciting shift of flavors inside our school kitchens. It’s time for your child to embrace the tastes of our newest Fall-Winter Grow Fit Menu. 

In our schools, to prepare children for the future, teachers highlight moments of change, such as watching the weather shift, plants grow, or routines evolve. They invite children to talk, wonder, and celebrate what they notice.

At our community of schools, teachers use practices rooted in our exclusive Learn as We Grow curriculum and transition guides to help children feel safe and welcome from the very first moment of the day to the last.
