Every number your gut needed.
Weekly Learning Hours
Hours per week · Infants (6–12m)
The national average is 1:10. We hire for the child who needs a second set of eyes — because every child does.
Every breakfast, lunch, and snack is sourced from Illinois farms within 80 miles. No preservatives. No mystery ingredients. A printed weekly menu goes home every Friday.
The industry loses 40% of educators annually. Our teachers stay because we pay above market, provide full benefits, and treat this like the profession it is.
Every classroom. Every hallway. Accessible via the Nurture parent app, live, any time during operating hours. Not a highlight reel — the actual feed.

Parents who did the research.
"I opened the Nurture app from my car in the parking lot before I even walked in for the tour. By the time I sat down with the director, I already knew the ratio, the curriculum hours, and that Amara's teacher had been there 11 years. I signed the enrollment paperwork that afternoon."
"As a single dad doing 7 AM drop-offs before a 7:30 train, I needed a school that opened on time, every single time, with someone who actually knew my son's name at the door. Marcus has been welcomed by name every morning for two years."
"We relocated from Seattle in October. I found Nurture from a hotel room, read every data point on the website, and booked a tour for day three in Chicago. The comparison table answered every question I had before I could ask it."
