Learning Care and CFG Bank Celebrate the Opening of New Early Childcare Center at Baltimore Peninsula

Everbrook Academy opening marks strategic partnership supporting Baltimore's growing workforce and families

Learning Care, a nationwide provider of early education and childcare, has opened Everbrook Academy at Baltimore Peninsula. This new early childcare center reflects the shared vision of Learning Care and CFG Bank to expand access to premium early education for families in one of Baltimore's fastest-growing neighborhoods.

Baltimore Peninsula has emerged as one of the city's most dynamic hubs for business and community growth, drawing employers like CFG Bank alongside a wave of new residents. Everbrook Academy fills a critical need in that growth story by offering accessible, premium early education for the children of the families who work and live in the area.

"None of this would be possible without CFG Bank," said Ian Fleming, VP of Strategic Partnerships at Learning Care. "CFG Bank's support of this school is a direct reflection of how deeply they care for their employees. CFG Bank is a true pillar of the Baltimore business community, and we're proud to help bring their vision to life with a school that gives their employees, and the broader Baltimore Peninsula community, access to premium early education."

"At CFG Bank, we know that when employees have access to reliable, high-quality childcare, they are better able to focus on their careers, support their families, and thrive both personally and professionally. Supporting this new childcare center is an investment in our people and our commitment to creating a workplace where employees have the resources they need to succeed. We're proud to play a role in expanding access to exceptional early education while providing a meaningful benefit for our team and the communities we serve," said Heather Hochstein, EVP People and Culture at CFG Bank.

"High-quality early childhood education is essential to a thriving community, and we're excited to welcome Everbrook Academy to Baltimore Peninsula," said Claudia Jolin, Executive Director of the Baltimore Peninsula Partnership. "As more residents, employers and families choose to call the Peninsula home, this is a meaningful addition that enhances everyday quality of life. We're grateful to CFG Bank for their continued investment in the community's future and are pleased to have Learning Care as another valued partner in bringing this vision to life."
