What started more than 10 years ago as a simple idea – to provide children in Johnstown, PA with access to high quality tutoring without the high price tag — has grown into a multi-faceted program that gives children, families, and schools greater options for improving academic achievement.
Lorraine Nulton, D.Ed, an educational psychologist, discovered the need for an affordable and effective alternative to high-cost tutoring during her work with children in public schools. A generous donation from the Nulton family enabled us to open our doors and begin to carry out our mission.
Today, we are a respected organization that serves 28,160 youth/adults from 51 school districts and 69 other schools and organizations in 19 Pennsylvania counties.

@thelearninglamp:The Employee Spotlight this week features Laura Strauch, a Preschool Teacher for The Learning Lamp’s child care center at Highlands Hospital in Connellsville. Laura has been working in childcare for almost 15 years, so it was a natural fit when she joined The Learning Lamp in June 2022. “I have had the opportunity to create my dream classroom that is a fun, yet educational atmosphere,” said Strauch. “Every day I learn something new about myself and how I can best teach each child in my care.” She is also adamant about passing on the knowledge she has learned to younger childcare workers at her center. “I recently finished my training to be a coach for the pre-apprenticeship program, and I’m very excited to be a part of it,” said Strauch. “I hope that sharing my experiences will benefit others! Thank you, Laura, for your dedication to child care and the children we serve!
