LAKE OSWEGO, Ore .– (BUSINESS THREADWith record low unemployment and sustained growth in the labor market, the need for childcare has never been clearer. To support families as they return to work and incorporate child care into their lives, KinderCare announced today that it is offering a free day of care. Families of children from six weeks to 12 years old who are not currently enrolled at a KinderCare center can benefit from this offer from 12 July to 12 August in selected KinderCare centers nationwide.
“Child care is essential for working families and is directly linked to their ability to return to the workforce. That’s why we give our families a free day of care, ”said Tom Wyatt, CEO of KinderCare. “It is our hope that this free day for families shows the impact that high quality childcare can have on their lives and provides them with a day of support that so many families need.”
All KinderCare centers continue to work with improved health and safety protocols created in collaboration with expert medical advisors. KinderCare obtained the WELL Health-Safety Rating earlier this year, a third-party validation of their health and safety practices.
In addition to safety, KinderCare offers its own curriculum to help children learn and grow. National studies show that KinderCare children are better prepared for first grade. They also confirm that the longer children are enrolled in KinderCare programs, the sooner they reach key developmental milestones.
Families with children between the ages of six weeks and 12 years can sign up for a free day at select KinderCare centers across the country. Availability may vary depending on location and children’s ages. To find a center near you and for more information, please visit https://www.kindercare.com/lp/free-day.
