Learning Care Group Leads New Class in Women's Leadership Index; Company Receives High Rating for Executive Roles Held by Women

Learning Care Group (NASDAQ:LCGI) was honored today by
the Michigan Women's Leadership Index (WLI), earning the highest
ranking of any company new to this year's list- one point shy of "Most
Valuable Player" recognition. Published by the Inforum Center for
Leadership (formerly the Women's Economic Club of Detroit), the WLI is
a bi-annual report on the presence of women holding top leadership
roles within the top 100 publicly-traded companies in Michigan.
   "Learning Care Group is proud to have its efforts recognized by
the WLI and Inforum," stated Bill Davis, Chief Executive Officer.
"Exposure to diverse backgrounds and experiences is essential in
creating leaders with better perspectives on the wide range of issues
affecting our global economy. We have made a concerted effort to draw
in people with the experiences and skills that will continue to
position Learning Care Group as a leader in the industry."
   Learning Care Group, one of the nation's largest early education
and child care providers, earned recognition from the WLI for its
composition of women in high-ranking leadership positions within the
company's day-to-day operations, as well as seats held on its board of
directors. One of the company's four top-compensated officers is a
woman, compared to the WLI's average of less than six percent.
Additionally, 92 percent of the company's management positions are
held by women.
   "Every level of our company benefits from diversity," stated
Kathryn Winkelhaus, Chief Operating Officer. "From our center-level
curricula, which impacts and inspires the next generation of leaders
to explore and embrace diversity issues; to our franchisees, who hail
from different countries and different business backgrounds--each
element plays a key role in growing a stronger, more innovative
company."
