FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                        JOINS CHILDTIME LEARNING CENTERS

Novi, MI, October 7, 2003 -- Bill Davis, CEO and President of Childtime Learning
Centers, Inc., one of the nation's largest providers of child care and early
childhood education, announced that Kathryn Winkelhaus has joined the Company as
COO.

In her new role, Kathryn will be responsible for directing all operations
activities for the Company's almost 500 Childtime and Tutor Time corporate and
franchise locations. This includes leadership of the Company's Corporate and
Franchise Operations, Education and Curriculum, Facilities and Purchasing
Departments as well as other operations support positions. She will also oversee
the development and execution of system-wide strategies and programs to help the
Company achieve its short- and long-term goals and objectives.

"Kathryn brings significant experience in driving key strategic operations
initiatives and identifying Company opportunities and issues to increase
customer service and revenues," said Davis. "We are very excited about the
opportunity to have Kathryn bring this experience to our Company and help us in
creating a solid foundation for our future profitability and growth."

Prior to joining Childtime, Kathryn spent almost 25 years with
Waldenbooks/Borders, an international Fortune 500 retailer, most recently as
President, Merchandising and Distribution for Borders. Prior to that, she served
as President of Borders Group Stores and as President of Waldenbooks Stores as
well as other key leadership roles.

"One of our key business objectives after the acquisition of Tutor Time was to
assemble a new senior management team with the necessary skill set and passion
to drive our success," added Davis. "With the hiring of Kathryn, the team is now
complete and focused on our goal of becoming the premier child care provider in
the country."
