Child Care

Leaving a child to go to work shouldn’t leave a parent riddled with guilt.

At The Learning Lamp, we’re working parents, too. In fact, our child care centers were designed by working parents to meet the needs of today’s busy families. Take a photo tour of The Learning Lamp Center for Children nearest to you and see for yourself what sets our program apart from the rest!

Helping Children Grow Socially, Emotionally and Academically

All of our child care locations include:

  • Highly qualified staff members who offer love and attention to every child, helping them make a successful transition from home to child care
  • A literacy-based preschool for children ages 3 and 4 at no additional cost
  • Before and after school care
  • Summer programming with stimulating hands-on activities
  • Early hours Monday – Friday, beginning at 6 a.m.

Convenient Locations

Our child care centers are located at various sites in Johnstown, Ebensburg, Northern Cambria, Somerset, New Florence, and Connellsville. Before and after school care and summer camps are also available to meet your child care needs.

Meeting the Highest Standards

The Learning Lamp child care centers meet the rigorous standards of Pennsylvania’s Keystone STARS quality child care initiative. In 2016, our site at the Greater Johnstown Career & Technology Center was awarded national accreditation by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.

    • @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! #employeespotlight #ouremployeesareawesome #awesomeemployees #greatemployees
