We are the largest private provider of high-quality early childhood education (ECE) in the United States by center capacity. We are a mission-driven organization, rooted in a commitment to providing all children with the very best start in life. We serve children ranging from six weeks to 12 years of age across our market-leading footprint of 1,500 early childhood education centers with capacity of more than 197,000 children and nearly 650 before- and after-school sites located in 40 states and the District of Columbia as of Jan. 1, 2022. We believe families choose us because of our differentiated inclusive approach and our commitment to delivering every child a high-quality educational experience in a nurturing and engaging environment. We operate all of our centers under the KinderCare platform and utilize a consistent curriculum and operational approach across our network.

We offer a differentiated value proposition to the children, families, schools and employers we serve, driven by our market-leading scale and commitment to quality, access, and inclusion. We leverage our extensive network of community-based centers, employer-sponsored programs and before- and after-school sites to meet parents where they are, which is an important factor in the context of evolving work styles as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
