We're very proud of our unparalleled preschool curriculum, and that in setting higher standards for educating young children we've invested more than $1.3 million in books and new materials and nearly 20,000 hours of teacher training. Learn more about our curriculum. Our headquarters are in Chicago, however, each of our Academies is licensed by the state where it operates. Each adheres to the highest standards of safety, security, cleanliness, teaching and loving care. We have the resources of a large company, such as our own Education Department to set programs and curricula, as well as top training and professional development for our teachers. But, we also offer a small community environment at each of our local Academies. Each Academy operates the way any good neighborhood business does. We know our community and we understand how best to serve the parents and children who live there.
