About this update from Kindercare Learning Companies, Inc.

California, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Virginia all make strides toward increasing family access to high-quality early childhood education and care Key takeaways: LAKE OSWEGO, Ore., July 27, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KinderCare Learning Companies, Inc. (NYSE: KLC) ("KinderCare"), the nation's leading provider of high-quality early childhood education and care, applauds the governors and state legislators in California, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Virginia for their focus on and dedication to investing in their respective state's early childhood education programs, ensuring that thousands of children across these five states have access to affordable, high-quality child care. "Strong, sustained investments in public early childhood education programs like these demonstrate how child care remains a top issue for state leaders," said Tom Wyatt, Chairman and CEO of KinderCare Learning Companies. "We applaud these states for their continued commitment to supporting working families and their youngest children. We look forward to working with each state to bring these plans to life by giving more families the ability to choose the child care option that works for them." The following states' investments in child care and early learning strengthen families' ability to access child care. Earlier this year, Indiana and New York announced historic public investments in ECE programs, highlighting robust, bipartisan support for child care and support for working families. These investments come as working families continue to struggle with child care accessibility, which has a direct impact on their ability to work and on the nation's economy. According to KinderCare's recent Confidence Index, 75% of working parents know someone who has left the workforce because of child care issues, while half of working parents report missing work because of disruptions in child care arrangements. KinderCare supports these efforts to improve families' access to care and will continue to work with policymakers, families, and communities in California, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Virginia to help families access affordable, high-quality child care, as well as before- and after-school care through each state's child care support programs.
