You have a purpose and so should your job.
Our children are the future of our community, and their care and education will directly impact their growth, development, and success.
We believe success in the classroom is the foundation for success in life – and that no child should go without the opportunity to reach their full potential.
The Learning Lamp has been lighting the way to a brighter future for nearly 20 years in our region.
Initially started with the mission to provide access to high quality tutoring without the high price tag, our organization has grown, minimizing education and care disparities for children through child care, tutoring, and more.
We are an integral part of the community, providing much needed support for families, schools, and children.
