Learning Without Tears™ is an educational publishing company that provides research-based programs and resources to help children develop kindergarten readiness, handwriting, and keyboarding skills. Originally founded as Handwriting Without Tears in 1977, the organization expanded its offerings and rebranded as Learning Without Tears in 2018 to support a broader portfolio of educational products and services.
To support its growing digital presence, Learning Without Tears partnered with TrazerEdge for ongoing Drupal expertise, technical support, and platform optimization. The engagement focuses on maintaining and enhancing a Drupal website hosted in an Acquia Cloud Enterprise environment while supporting integrations and new digital capabilities.

Why Drupal was chosen
Learning Without Tears was already using Drupal 7 for its marketing website but needed to modernize its digital platform due to Drupal 7's end of life, the complexity of maintaining a highly customized codebase, and the need to support a new single sign-on (SSO) solution. The organization also wanted to empower non-technical staff to create and manage content more efficiently while making it easier to implement new design elements and enhancements.
Drupal 9, combined with Acquia Site Studio, provided the ideal path forward. The platform offered a modern, enterprise-grade content management system with flexible page-building capabilities, improved maintainability, and seamless integration with Acquia Cloud Enterprise. By upgrading to the latest version of Drupal, Learning Without Tears gained a scalable, secure platform that simplifies content management while supporting future growth and ongoing digital innovation.
