Confidence in Action

Confidence in Action is our corporate responsibility strategy aimed at turning purpose into progress. By creating classrooms where children thrive, workplaces where teachers grow, communities where families are supported, and operations that are resilient and responsible, we fulfill our purpose: building confidence for kids, families, and the future we share.

We expand confidence by making care more accessible, championing families, and building partnerships that strengthen the future we share.

Responsible Operations

We act with integrity—strengthening governance, protecting privacy, reducing our environmental impact, and ensuring accountability across our business.

“Confidence in Action reflects both the progress we've made and the future we're building for children, our people, and the communities we serve. Guided by our belief that our work is never done, we see each step forward as inspiration for the next, fueling our commitment to keep learning, improving, and expanding what’s possible for every child.”

Growing up in a KinderCare always made me feel cared for supported. I am so glad my mom enrolled me in KinderCare because it taught me how to have a voice and to have fun while learning.
