    CARE GROUP, INC. REPORTS IMPROVED
    OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2005  NOVI,
    MI, November 29, 2004  Learning Care Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LCGI) today
    announced operating results for the 12 weeks (second quarter 2005) and 28
    weeks (year to date) ended October 15, 2004. Continued strong comparable center
    revenue (centers opened 18 months or longer) and improved operating results
    highlighted the Companys second quarter 2005.  Net
    revenue for second quarter 2005 increased $3.4 million, or 7.6%, from the
    same period last year to $48.2 million, contributing to a $7.6 million, or
    7.1% increase and $114.7 million total for year to date 2005. Comparable center
    revenue increases, achieved through a combination of increased tuition rates
    and enrollments, drove the net revenue growth. Childtime achieved comparable
    revenue increases of 5.0% and 4.8% for the quarter and year to date 2005,
    respectively. Tutor Time achieved comparable revenue increases of 6.7% for
    both the quarter and year to date 2005.  Franchise
    Operations revenues, which consisted primarily of royalties, increased $0.2
    million, or 11.9%, from the same period last year to $1.5 million, bringing
    the year to date total to $3.9 million, a 19.7% increase from the same period
    last year. The increase in Franchise Operations revenues is a result of royalties
    generated from revenue increases experienced by the Companys franchisees.
    Tutor Time franchisee-owned centers achieved comparable center revenue increases
    of 6.2% and 7.7% for the quarter and year to date 2005, respectively. Revenues
    of franchisee-owned centers increased 4.5% to $28.2 million for second quarter
    2005. The second quarter increase in franchisee revenue was less than the
    comparable center increase because of the Companys purchase of eight
    franchisee centers during the quarter. Year to date 2005 revenues of franchisee-owned centers totaled
    $69.0 million, an increase of 8.4% from the same period last year.  Second
    quarter systemwide sales, which include revenues from franchisee-owned and
    Company-owned centers, grew to $74.9 million, an increase of 6.4% from the
    same period last year, bringing the year to date total to $179.9 million,
    an increase of 7.4% from the same period last year.     Gross
    profit for second quarter 2005 increased $1.0 million, or 24.5%, from the
    same period last year to $5.2 million. This increase consisted of a $0.8 million
    increase in Learning Center Operations gross profit and a $0.2 million increase
    in Franchise Operations gross profit. Gross profit for year to date 2005 increased
    $2.4 million, or 19.8%, from the same period last year to $14.6 million. This
    increase consisted of a $1.8 million increase in Learning Center Operations
    gross profit and a $0.6 million increase in Franchise Operations gross profit.
    For second quarter and year to date 2005, the increase in Learning Center
    gross profit was primarily a result of revenue increases and decreases in
    personnel expenses as a percentage of net revenue resulting from improved
    labor efficiencies. The increase in Franchise Operations gross profit was
    the result of increased revenue.
  
  Operating
    loss for second quarter 2005 decreased $0.6 million from the same period last
    year to ($0.4 million). The improvement was primarily attributable to the increase in
    gross profit of $1.0 million, offset by increases in general and administrative
    expenses ($0.1 million) and provision for doubtful accounts ($0.3 million).
    Operating income for year to date 2005 improved $1.9 million from the same
    period last year to $1.5 million. The improvement was primarily attributable
    to  the increase in gross profit of $2.4 million and a gain on sale of assets of
    $0.7 million, offset by increases in general and administrative expenses ($0.7
    million), provision for doubtful accounts ($0.3 million), and depreciation
    and amortization ($0.2 million).
  
  Net
    loss decreased to ($0.9 million) for second quarter 2005, compared to a net
    loss of ($1.6 million) for the same period last year. The second quarter improvement
    was primarily attributable to the increase in operating income of $0.6 million.
    Year to date 2005 net income improved to $0.0 million, compared to a net loss
    of ($1.8 million) for the same period last year. The year to date improvement
    was primarily attributable to the increase in operating income of $1.9 million.
  
  Second
    quarter 2005 loss per share was ($0.05) on a basic and diluted basis as compared
    to ($0.08) on a basic and diluted basis for the same period last year. Year
    to date 2005 income per share was $0.00 on a basic and diluted basis as compared
    to a per share loss of ($0.11) on a basic and diluted basis for the same period
    last year.
  
  Bill
    Davis, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, The investments
    we have made in staff training, center maintenance and our increased focus
    on enrollments are paying off with comparable center revenue increases of
    5.0% for Childtime and 6.7% for Tutor Time. We are very pleased with our continued
    year over year performance improvements, particularly in the difficult summer
    months. We are meeting our plan and expect to be profitable for the balance
    of the year.
