About Kindercare Learning Companies
From its filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission
Kindercare Learning Companies is based in Lake Oswego, Oregon and is incorporated in Delaware. Its shares trade on NYSE under the ticker KLC. The SEC classifies its business as child day care services. In the fiscal year to 3 January 2026, it reported revenue of $2.73bn and a net loss of $112.9m. At that date it held total assets of $3.75bn and shareholders' equity of $755.3m.
KinderCare Learning Companies, Inc. (the "Company," "KinderCare," "we," "us" and "our") is a leading private provider of high-quality early education and child care services ("ECE") in the United States. 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 footprint.
We operate a national network of community-based centers, employer-sponsored programs and before- and after-school sites. Our proprietary curriculum is supported by third-party assessment tools that measure school readiness outcomes. We voluntarily pursue national accreditation at our centers and onsite programs.
We compete in the U.S. market for ECE services, including before- and after-school services for school-aged children.
The market for center-based ECE services is highly fragmented according to Child Care Aware of America. We estimate that the top five providers, including KinderCare, represented approximately 6% of total capacity as of January 3, 2026.
Additionally, we provide customized family care benefits for organizations, including care for young children on or near the site where their parents work, tuition benefits, and backup care where KinderCare programs are located. Employers increasingly recognize the benefits of offering employees access to flexible, high-quality, affordable ECE options through either a tuition benefits program or as backup care.
