“We're excited about the foundation we've established and the opportunity to bring exceptional early education brands to more communities.”

Gail Johnson, Founder of LeafSpring School

“I started this in 1989 because I believed a sick child shouldn't cost a parent their job, and that a school could be run to a clinical standard as well as educational excellence.”

“Partnering with Storied means that standard outlives me instead of depending on me, and that we can grow and impact the lives of many more children and families.”

Chase Begor, Managing Partner of Lunchline Partners

“Almost every great early education company in this country was started by one person who believed a community deserved better and then figured out how to build it.”

“We want a lot more of those people, and we want the reasons they give up — the site they could not find, the loan they could not get, the systems they had to invent from scratch — to stop being reasons.”

“If we do this right, there are high-quality schools in communities across the country that exist because someone local was given a real shot at running one.”
