Availability, Costs, And Trends – Zippia

Research Summary. Across the United States, child care accessibility places a large burden on the economy and the labor force. Now, closures and mandates brought on by the global pandemic are causing increased hardship when it comes to finding quality child care. After extensive research, our data analysis team concluded:

• 57% of working families spent more than $10,000 on child care in 2020.

• 51% of Americans live in communities classified as child care deserts.

• On average, Americans with children spend at least 10% of their household income on child care.

• 58% of working parents rely on child care centers — that’s about 6.38 million parents across the nation.

• The child care industry in the United States is valued at $54 billion.

• Annual economic losses because of child care translate to $6.9 billion in lost tax revenue, $12.7 billion in lost business revenue, and $36. 9 billion in lost individual earnings.

For further analysis, we broke down the data in the following ways:
Women in the Workplace | The Industry | Costs | The Pandemic | Availability by Demographics | Availability by Region

• 27% of families who have difficulty accessing child care can not find an open child care slot.

  Roughly half of Americans have trouble finding child care, and 27% of them say it’s because there are not enough open child care slots. As a result, two-thirds of parents in the U.S. have very few — often only one — child care options.

• On average, it costs $340 per week to send a child to a child care or daycare center.

  In the United States, it costs $300 per week to send a child to a family care center, $340 per week to send a child to a child care or daycare center, and $612 per week for a nanny, as reported by the Center for American Progress.

  The cost of sending two children to a child care center jumps considerably to $640, with the weekly cost for a nanny coming in at roughly $654.

• 31.7% of U.S. children under the age of five can not access a child care slot.

  According to a 2020 study that analyzed 25 states across the nation, 8.4 million children under the age of five needed child care. However, only about 5.9 million child care slots were available. Thus, roughly 2.7 million children, or 31.7%, could not access quality child care due to a limited number of child care slots.

• Child care is more likely to impact a mother’s career than it is to impact a father’s career.

  Mothers with young children are 40% more likely than fathers to report that child care issues have negatively impacted their careers, according to a survey conducted by the Center for American Progress.

• About 20% of stay-at-home mothers would enter the workforce if they had child care assistance.

  20% of mothers who do not currently work would look for a job if they had better access to quality child care.

  An additional 42% of working mothers would look for a higher-paying job, and 29% of working mothers would seek additional schooling or training to help them advance in their careers.

• The cost of child care has led to a 13% decline in the employment of mothers.

  Over the past two decades, women’s participation in the labor force has been declining, and rising child care costs are partly to blame. The United States’ lack of federal child care and paid family leave policies is tied to at least one-third of the decline in female employment.

• 69% of young mothers work in the United States.

  Nearly 70% of young mothers participate in the labor force, according to the CAP. The center also found that fewer mothers in the workforce are directly associated with child care deserts.

• About 42% of mothers are sole or primary breadwinners for their household.

  Overall, 70% of American mothers participate in the labor force, and roughly 42% of them are the sole or primary breadwinners in their homes. This rate is even higher among Black mothers, with 71% of them serving as the sole or primary breadwinners for their household.

• Roughly 30% of infants and toddlers go to home-based child care facilities.

  In the United States, 29.5% of infants and toddlers attend home-based child care facilities. Meanwhile, 37.7% of infants and toddlers are exclusively cared for by a parent or guardian.

• 52% of home-based child care is unpaid.

  The majority of home-based child care that isn’t with a parent involves the unpaid help of friends, family members, and neighbors. Overall, this sort of unpaid child care accounts for the primary care experience of 15.4% of infants and toddlers in the U.S.

  Meanwhile, 48% of home-based child care is paid — either to a provider with whom the parents had a previous relationship (friends, family, neighbors, etc.) or a paid provider with whom the parents have no previous relationship (a professional sitter, nanny, etc. )

  Overall, 7.2% of infants and toddlers in the U.S. are provided for by paid family, friends, and neighbors, while 7% are covered by a paid, professional child care provider.

• 58% of working parents rely on child care centers.

  58% of working parents with children five years old and younger — or about 6.38 million parents across the nation — use center-based child care options, according to estimates from the National Household Education Survey.

  The survey also found that of the 11 million working parents in the U.S., 31% of them do not rely on any outside child care, 25% of them rely on non-relatives for child care, and 47% rely on relatives for child care.

• U.S. businesses lose, on average, $12.7 billion each year due to child care challenges.

  Data shows that employees with children three years old and younger cost their employers roughly $1,150 per year because of inadequate child care. With 11 million working parents across the U. S., this equates to a total business loss of $12.7 billion.

• The majority of working parents have reduced their work hours, at some point, for their kids.

  As a result of child care problems, 63% of working parents have left work earlier than normal, 56% of working parents have been late for work, 55% of working parents have missed a full day of work, and 54% of working parents have reported being distracted at work, according to data published by Ready Nation.

  In addition, of the parents surveyed, one in five of them said they have been reprimanded at least once by a supervisor, and one in seven of them said they have had their pay or hours reduced as a result of child care affecting their productivity levels at work.

• More than half of U.S. families spent more than $10,000 on child care in 2020.

  57% of families across the United States spent more than $10,000 on child care last year, according to a survey by Care. com. In 2021, 59% of families are budgeting to spend more than $10,000 in yearly child care costs.

  These numbers make child care more expensive than college, with the average in-state tuition ringing up at $9,580 annually.

• The current child care system places a $98 billion burden on the U.S. economy.

  Working parents lose an estimated $8,940 each year in lost earnings, reduced participation in the workforce, and lower returns on professional experience, according to data reported by Ready Nation.

  Across the nation, there are approximately 11 million working parents with children under the age of three. As such, the current child care system results in a total average annual economic cost of $98 billion.

• The United States is on track to permanently lose up to 4.5 million child care slots due to the pandemic.

  More than 4 million child care slots could be lost in the coming months due to COVID-19, according to Teach for America. Moreover, the large majority of these lost slots will affect low-income families and people of color.

• Prior to the pandemic, at least two-thirds of U.S. families relied on some form of child care.

  Before the pandemic, the majority of parents with children under the age of six worked and thus relied on child care to some extent. About 22% of all parents with young children say that they can not work, either in person or remotely, without child care.

• Child care is more expensive now compared to before the pandemic.

  72% of families say that child care is more expensive than it was before the global COVID-19 pandemic, according to a Care.com study. Meanwhile, only 6% of families report that it is less expensive.

  Increased costs are widely due to the elevated safety precautions that have been put in place at child care centers across the nation.

• Quality child care is much harder to find now compared to before the pandemic.

  Roughly 46% of families in the United States said that they have a harder time finding child care now compared to pre-pandemic. As such, many families are turning to nannies instead of daycare centers for their child care needs.

  Today, the cost of hiring a nanny is only $14 more per week than the cost of having two kids in a child care center. In 2019, it cost $239 more weekly to hire a nanny.

• The majority of U.S. child care centers have not yet fully reopened.

  According to Care.com, of the 51% of American families who used child care or daycare center before the pandemic, 61% say that the center is not yet fully open and operating. An additional 14% of survey families who used child care centers before the pandemic said that their child care provider is open, but not fully.

• 62% of families are more concerned about the cost of child care now compared to before the pandemic.

  Compared to pre-pandemic, 62% of families are more concerned, while 10% of families are less concerned about the cost of child care. Of the 62% who are more concerned, 43% said it was because of the increased cost of child care due to safety protocols, and 32% said it was because they had to shift to a different child care arrangement.

• About half of all American families have trouble finding child care, and that number varies by race and income.

  In the United States, roughly 44% of Black families, 50% of White families, and 57% of Hispanic families live in a child care desert and thus have a harder time finding child care.

  Among higher-income neighborhoods, only 43% of families struggle to find child care. This is compared to 54% of families who live in lower-income neighborhoods and have a hard time accessing child care.

• More than 70% of mothers in the United States work.

  According to labor statistics, in 2020, 71.2% of mothers with children under the age of 18 participated in the labor force. This number was down from 72.3% in 2019. For comparison, in 2020, 92. 3% of fathers with children under the age of 18 participated in the labor force.

• Black mothers have the highest rates of workforce participation out of all mothers in the United States.

  According to numbers released by American Progress, 80% of Black women with children aged six through 17 work — the highest rate of all other racial and ethnic groups analyzed. In addition, the labor force participation rate for Black women has increased by 23% since 1989.

• Child care is harder to access in the Western United States and rural areas.

  In small towns and rural areas across the nation, roughly 26% of families report that finding a child care provider is very difficult. For comparison, only 10% of families who live in the suburbs and 11% of families who live in major cities report having a very difficult time finding a quality child care provider.

  In addition, an estimated 20% of families in the Western United States lost their child care provider, either because they are permanently closed or unavailable, due to the pandemic.

• Quality child care is especially hard to come by in Utah, Nevada, Hawaii, West Virginia, and New York.

  Utah, Nevada, Hawaii, West Virginia, and New York have the highest rates of child care deserts by the state in the United States. Data shows that 77% of families in Utah, 72% of families in Nevada, 68% of families in Hawaii, and 64% of families in West Virginia and New York live in a child care desert.

1. What are child care deserts?

   Child care deserts refer to areas in the United States with little to no access to quality child care. Data suggests that more than half of all American families reside in child care deserts and, in some states, as many as two-thirds of families have limited access to child care.

   Most areas are classified as a child care desert if more than 50 children under the age of five reside there, and there are more than three times as many children as there are licensed child care slots.

2. Are there any proposed policy solutions to make child care more accessible and affordable?

   Yes, some states have proposed budgets and legislations to provide child care benefits to working families. A federal comprehensive early childhood policy, the Child Care for Working Families Act, has been proposed in congress.

   If passed, this policy would serve several million children across the United States, allow families with at least two children in child care to save more than $10,000 annually, and help to increase economic activity in at least 36 states by an estimated $1 billion each.

3. How many children attend child care in the U.S.?

Roughly 27.1% of infants and toddlers in the U.S. attended some form of paid child care as their primary care arrangement. 11.9% of children attended a child care or daycare center, while 7.2% received care from a paid family member/friend/neighbor, and another 7% received primary care from a paid professional with no prior relationship with the parents.

However, this survey was published in 2019, pre-pandemic. With many daycare centers closing or limiting operations, it’s likely that this percentage has dropped off, while paid at-home providers have become more common.

4. What is the average cost of daycare in the U.S.?

   The average cost of daycare in the U.S. is $340 per week. This works out to an annual cost of $17,680 per child if they are in daycare year-round.

Conclusion

There’s no question that quality child care — that is both accessible and affordable — is an integral aspect of both the U.S. economy and the livelihood of families across the nation. However, after analyzing the numbers, it seems the current system is not only failing parents but also shorting employers and placing an overwhelming burden on America’s economy.

With more than half of all working families spending a whopping $10,000 a year on child care or roughly 10% of their household income, it’s no surprise that child care is leading to $6. 9 billion in lost tax revenue, $12.7 billion in lost business revenue and $36.9 billion in lost individual earnings across the nation.

Although COVID-19 shutdowns may generally be past us, the pandemic continues to place added hardships on parents when it comes to affording and finding child care, an industry valued at $54 billion. Now, the availability and affordability of quality child care could largely depend on the success of various federal legislations.

The cost of daycare in all 21 N.J. counties, ranked from least to most expensive

When a Jersey City daycare recently jacked its monthly price for infant care from $866 to $1,300, parents were understandably shocked and angry.

But as big as the blow was to their family budgets, the new price is well in line with what people in other parts of the state are paying.

In high-cost New Jersey, the median full-time daycare bill for an infant is $1,040 per-month, according to a recent state survey. And some parents will consider that laughably low because costs are significantly higher depending on where you live and the type of care you want.

In some zip codes, sending an infant to a certified childcare center full-time will easily run you more than $1,500 a month, the survey found,

Though the state didn’t publish full results by town, it did release the median and 75th percentile prices for each county.

Check out the ranking below to see cost of daycare ranked by county, using the typical price for full-time infant care in certified centers.

Note: Survey participation was less than 50 percent in some counties.

Average Cost Data for 2022

Typically, families pay by the hour or by the day for adult day care, since most people don’t spend all day there every day. As of March 2022, the average daily rate (for up to eight hours) for adult day care facilities in the U.S. is $80, according to Genworth’s Cost of Care database.

Costs depend on the services provided, the individual’s needs, and the city or state where the facility is located. Typically, adult day care can be divided into two broad types — social care and healthcare. In both situations, though, services like meals, social activities, and basic health services are usually provided.

Adult day healthcare usually involves more medical services, such as medication dispensing or therapy for health conditions like dementia and others.

Average Costs of Adult Day Care Nationwide

Most people who visit adult day care facilities will spend between four and 12 hours per day there, up to five days per week. Adult day care services, including those that are social as well as healthcare-focused, are popular respite care options for families and loved ones responsible for providing care to older adults. 

For many families, adult day care services are a more affordable alternative to full-time nursing care or in-home care services, both of which are much more expensive on average.

With an average daily rate of $80, adult day care is far lower than the equivalent for home care services ($168), in-home health care ($174), assisted living ($152), or residential nursing homes, which start at $268 for a semi-private room and go up to $306 for a private room.

It’s important for older adults and their families to do their research to find which facilities in their area are the most affordable, as well as pay attention to fee structures to determine if there is an hourly or daily cost associated. Some facilities charge by the hour, while others offer flat rates.

Average Costs of Adult Day Care by State

Adult day care averages $80 per day in the U.S., but prices vary quite a bit depending on the state. Such services are most expensive in sparsely populated states like Maine ($165), Wyoming ($155), and Alaska ($145). They’re cheapest in Alabama ($31) and Texas ($33). Nationally, families can expect to spend about $1,600 for one month of adult day care for their loved one.

How to Pay for Adult Day Care

There are numerous ways to pay for adult day care, but the most asked about options are Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans Benefits and self payment options.

Does Medicare Cover Adult Day Care Costs?

While most seniors qualify for Medicare benefits, the fact is that Medicare does not cover any costs associated with adult day care. While often confused with Medicaid benefits, Medicare in no way currently contributes to adult day care costs, regardless of supplemental policies that are on the marketplace.

Does Medicaid Cover Adult Day Care Costs?

Currently, Medicaid provides comprehensive coverage for both adult day care and adult day health care. This is particularly true for individuals that would generally require nursing care on a full time basis. While regulations vary from state to state, for those who qualify for Medicaid it is a top option to ensure that coverage for these services is available.

Do Veterans’ Programs Cover Adult Day Care Costs?

The program for Veterans Health Benefits (VHA) will cover expenses associated with adult day health care as included in the Veteran’s benefits package, but will not generally cover adult day care for social purposes or for caregiver respite. Additionally, those seeking coverage for such care will need to have a VA physician approve these services as needed. There may be co-pays for such coverage depending on income and levels of care involved. Veteran’s Pensions including Aid and Attendance is one exception to the non-coverage policy concerning non-health and health day care. Those with this supplementally policy may qualify for benefits for even social adult day care situations.

What are Private Payment Options for Adult Day Care

Many individuals ultimately end up using retirement funds, savings or other forms of payment for adult day care. Long term insurance is a popular option, but the qualifications for this type of care will depend upon the policy. Some long term policies only allow for coverage for health care related expenses within assisted living homes or nursing facilities while other policies are more generous. Other private payment options can include reverse home mortgages, loans or by cashing out on the value of life insurance policies.

Did You Know: A more affordable alternative to adult day care may be a medical alert system such as Medical Guardian.

Are Adult Day Care Costs Tax Deductible?

While the dependent care credit is typically associated with children, it can be used to deduct daycare expenses. However, individuals also have the option to consider a medical expense deduction for their loved ones receiving adult day care. It’s important to note, that taxpayers can only claim one deduction or the other, so a financial advisor such as a tax professional can run the numbers and guide you towards the most beneficial claim.

KinderCare abruptly postponed its IPO; the reasons remain a mystery

It’s been three weeks since KinderCare Learning Companies Inc. scrubbed its planned initial public stock offering.

The Oregon-based early childhood education company has offered just a sippy cup of additional information since then, blaming the postponement on “regulatory delays. ” Investors can only ponder whether the delay connotes a bureaucratic detail or something more.

KinderCare’s offering prospectus, which allowed outsiders their first detailed look inside the operation, gives investors plenty to consider:

Why can’t the largest company in the childcare business make a profit? KinderCare has lost money four consecutive years.

Is it realistic for KinderCare to think it can continue to raise rates 2%-5% per year at a time when the childcare industry is already being blasted by parents and politicians for sky-high prices?

Is KinderCare’s $1.4 billion in debt a problem? That’s not an outrageous amount for a company KinderCare’s size, but all of it comes due by 2025.

And finally, a significant disclosure about its accounting:

“We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting,” the company revealed in the prospectus. If not addressed, the deficiencies in KinderCare’s internal controls could lead to a “material misstatement” of its quarterly or annual earnings, it reported.

Deloitte & Touche, KinderCare’s auditor, weighed in, calling it a “critical audit matter.” The issues “relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements,” the auditor said in its opinion letter that accompanied the offering.

That’s not a good look for a company seeking to convince the world it’s a worthy investment, said Roy Tucker, a senior lawyer at the Perkins Coie firm in Portland.

“I’ve done bunches of IPOs over the years, and I’ve never seen this,” he said. “Obviously, you want to try to get these things fixed before you put a registration statement in front of investors.”

Portland lawyer Keith Ketterling, who has represented investors in investment fraud cases, questioned why regulators would allow the offering to go forward.

“No company should go public with an IPO while it is receiving information about a critical audit matter from its accounting firm,” he said. “If there is uncertainty about the accuracy of its financial reporting, the company has no business trying to raise money from the public. ”

It’s not unusual for a company to discover a problem in its financial and accounting operation. As business goes global, accounting and auditing rules change, and what was acceptable business as usual yesterday can become a problem tomorrow.

And it’s increasingly common for auditors to point out what it considers to be a company’s accounting issues.

“It is our public responsibility to provide ‘reasonable assurance’ that these financial statements are accurate,” said Joleen Kremin, associate professor of accounting at Portland State University. “That’s why we call ourselves independent auditors.”

KinderCare declined interview requests. It did release a statement claiming it had received “positive feedback” and “healthy interest” from investors. “Unfortunately, due to regulatory delays outside of our control we have decided to postpone our IPO.”

“This is a true disappointment,” the company added, saying it would have fueled faster expansion.

KinderCare is one of three giants of the day-care and early childhood business. The company serves nearly 200,000 children in its 1,480 locations across the country. All those kids generated annual revenue of $1.4 billion in its 2021 fiscal year.

But these have not been easy years for the industry.

The pandemic wreaked havoc as parents by the thousands yanked their kids out of daycare. KinderCare estimates that 13,000 childcare operations — 20% of the total capacity — closed their doors for good.

KinderCare, by some metrics the largest company in the business, clearly seems to be one of the survivors. But profits have been elusive.

KinderCare lost $128.7 million last year. Its $1.4 billion in total revenue marked a 26% decline year-over-year.

Even in the pre-pandemic years of 2018 and 2019, the company lost $32.6 million and $40.6 million, respectively.

KinderCare also has borrowed around $1.4 billion, virtually all of which comes due by 2025. Much of the proceeds of the planned stock offering were expected to go to pay down the debt.

Jeffrey Silber, a stock analyst at BMO Capital Markets, said the childcare industry generally showed some recovery in the first half of this year from the depths of the pandemic. That’s due in part to less competition.

Silber follows Bright Horizons Family Solutions, one of KinderCare’s chief competitors, and he declined to speak directly about KinderCare.

But the Portland company also seems on track to recover from the worst of the pandemic. It reported earnings of $41 million on total revenue of $1.3 billion in the first nine months of 2021.

Beyond the pandemic, KinderCare faces significant political uncertainty.

The huge expense of daycare has prompted popular outrage and calls for universal childcare funded by the government. The providers that failed tended to be the smaller, more affordable mom-and-pop operations, Silber said.

KinderCare charges premium rates. A location in Washington County, for example, charges $1,600 a month for a toddler, though rates vary by location.

The company’s prospectus says it expects rates to climb 2%-5% a year.

Paying upwards to $20,000 a year for childcare is an enormous burden for parents and prices out many American families.

“This is a big problem in this country,” Silber said. “It just exacerbates the issue of equity.”

Observers expect the big players to use their greater financial resources to buy out teetering competitors and grow their market share.

Yet, in the case of KinderCare, its attempt to bolster its war chest via IPO has yet to happen. Whatever the regulatory issues were, they forced the company to very publicly walk back its plans.

KinderCare appeared to be very close to actually completing the deal. It had priced the shares at $18 to $21 and determined the number of shares to be sold at 25.7 million. The company executives were reportedly set to ring the closing bell after its Nov. 18 debut on the New York Stock Exchange.

Kremin pointed out that Deloitte gave its seal of approval to the financial results detailed in the KinderCare prospectus.

“The opinion is clean,” she said, “meaning that the auditor found no evidence that the company is violating generally accepted accounting principles.”

It’s the accuracy of financial reporting in future quarters that are the concern. Deloitte states in its opinion letter that KinderCare uses “significant estimates and assumptions” in the way it calculates and recognizes lease liabilities and in the way it tests the value of individual care centers and other assets.

Deloitte officials declined comment.

KinderCare blamed its issues on an inadequate information technology system.

“These IT deficiencies, when aggregated, could impact effective segregation of duties as well as the effectiveness of IT-dependent controls that could result in misstatements potentially impacting all financial statement accounts and disclosures that would not be prevented or detected,” the company stated in its prospectus.

KinderCare went on to say it has hired new staffers and engaged an “external advisor” to fix things.

Aside from the social and political issues, the KinderCare story also illustrates the new disclosure requirements facing auditors. In 2017, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board adopted sweeping new standards of transparency it said investors needed in an era of globalization and technological change.

Among other things, the new standards require that auditors disclose “critical audit matters” in its opinion letter, which is part of every annual report issued by a public company. The accounting board became convinced that the new information would make the auditor’s report “more relevant, useful and informative to investors.”

In real life, the new reporting requirements have been a bit of a non-event. Many of these critical audit matters have proven highly technical and of little interest to the general public.

Ketterling, who has gone up against Deloitte in investor lawsuits, said the larger significance of the KinderCare issue is that potential buyers of the stock were informed. If Deloitte, prompted by the new auditing guidelines, helped provide important information to investors, “then that’s a win,” he said. “Any new rule that forces greater transparency is a good thing.”

Is Kindercare School & Daycare Worth it? (Review)

Choosing a daycare for your child is one of the hardest decisions you’ll face in your baby’s first couple of years.

With so many choices, not to mention alternative options like nannies, in-home daycare, and more — how can you possibly decide?

You want a daycare that feels like a home away from home to your child, but you also want the experience of going to daycare to be an enriching and safe one. 

If you’ve been doing your research, you’ve probably heard of a school called Kindercare.

Is Kindercare worth it? Here’s a full review.

Kindercare schools have been around a longtime and have a time-tested curriculum. They also have a knack for hiring and keeping some of the absolute best staff around. Like most chain daycares, however, you can expect Kindercare to be pretty expensive and sometimes parents have been known to have billing disputes with management.

Let’s take a closer look at the curriculum, day-to-day, pros, cons, and more!

What is Kindercare?

Kindercare is the largest privately-owned daycare center franchise in the nation.

They offer flexible full-time and part-time childcare for 6-week-olds all the way up to 12-year-olds. 

Kindercare was founded in 1969 in Montgomery, Alabama, in response to a growing number of women entering the workforce. Since then, it acquired other childcare brands and changed ownership. 

It is now based out of Portland, Oregon, and currently operates over 1,500 centers in over 40 states, including over 500 before- and after-school programs.

When it comes to accreditations, Kindercare has you covered.

They claim they are the most accredited daycare company in the nation. Most of their schools are accredited by one or more of these national accreditations:

• National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC)
• National Accreditation Commission for Early Care and Education Programs (NAC)
• National Early Childhood Program Accreditation (NECPA) 

Kindercare seeks to have all of their centers accredited at some point, but the timeline is not specified on their website. 

The company stands out with all these accreditation, making sure their teachers are not just warm-and-fuzzy caregivers, but also educators that will set your child up for success in school.

Kindercare Teaching Philosophy Explained

Kindercare states on their website that they put education first, even for the youngest of their children.

They believe that a whole child is a happy child, and they seek to educate the children under their care to excel mentally, emotionally, physically, as well as intellectually. 

They have curated their own curriculum and refine it regularly to keep it up to standard.

Their curriculum is inspired by the Waldorf and Montessori methods, but its biggest influence is the Reggio Emilia method. 

This means that Kindercare emphasizes learning in nature, STEM-based activities, leaves room for independent play, and also takes a child-directed approach. 

While at Kindercare, your child is encouraged to discover new things, and gently reinforced in order to solidify learning in the focus areas.

Also, your child is given the opportunity to choose their own learning path, and given some responsibility where appropriate.

Teachers take note of how each child learns and seek to create an environment where they will learn best, giving each kid a customized experience based on their strengths and weaknesses.

In addition to this, your child will always be respected for their ideas and what they create. 

Kindercare Day To Day Procedures/Typical Day

So what happens when you sign your baby, infant, or toddler up for Kindercare and drop them off?

A Typical Day for Infants

Kindercare staff understand that an infant’s schedule changes all the time, and no two babies have the same exact schedule.

That’s why childcare in this stage is not as concrete. The staff at Kindercare do their best to follow your baby’s schedule.

To add a little bit of structure to the day, though, there are a few activities that happen.

According to their website, after your baby arrives, he or she will engage in some sort of group time, then one-on-one time with a teacher, as well as outdoor play. 

Teachers support your infant’s developmental stages, whether it’s talking, crawling, or walking.

The curriculum meets babies at their level, helping them practice problem solving and exploring the world around them.

A Typical Day for Kids 1+

Once your child moves out of the infant stage, they are ready for the next phases of Kindercare.

There are 5 phases total:

• Toddler (1-2)
• Discovery Preschool (2)
• Preschool (3-4)
• PreKindergarten (4-5)
• and Kindergarten (5-6)

These stages gradually have more and more structure.

(Learn more about preschool vs daycare here.)

All stages start with breakfast and/or a healthy morning snack (if your child already ate at home) after drop-off.

After that, there’s group time where the group of children listen to the teacher talk about the day ahead, with discussion. Then there’s usually singing or reading time.

Before lunch, children move to activity centers. Here they work individually or in groups on a project related to the theme of the day. After that, there’s outside play time.

After lunch, all the kids have rest time. Even if your child doesn’t sleep, they have quiet activities like drawing or looking at books lined out. When rest time is over, kids have another healthy snack and go back to activity centers.

Next there’s another outdoor time, followed by focus activity time for toddlers and group time for the older-aged kids. By the time that’s all said and done, it’s time for parents to pick up their kids.

Progress Reports

For kids 2 years and up, a portfolio is kept for each child. This contains photos and other sorts of documentation to show individual growth. 

Twice a year, parents meet with teachers in a conference to discuss progress or things that need improvement.

There’s a Kindercare app as well where you can see photos throughout the day and view the Daily Report made by your kid’s teachers.

Drop-off and Pick-up

Dropping off and picking up your child at Kindercare is fairly straightforward. 

When you do either of these things, you will sign in or out your child using a paper roster or some sort of computer program.

Drop off starts at about 6 am, and you can pick up your child between about 4 pm and 6 pm. Center hours differ across the board.

When you sign your child or children up for Kindercare, you can expect to sign an Enrollment Agreement. Part of this document allows certain individuals to pick up your child. Only people on that document are able to pick up your child.

Meals and Snacks

Mealtime is learning time at Kindercare. A dietitian has curated the meals to be healthy and well-rounded, while avoiding certain food allergens. 

The kids eat “family style” by first setting the large, round table and practicing manners while passing food around.

Although the foods like chicken biryani and lo mein noodles may seem adventurous to most kids, the teachers do a great job presenting the foods in a desirable fashion.

Kids usually have no problem at least trying these foods, and an alternative will be provided if they will not eat it.

For infants, meals revolve around the baby’s individual rhythm. They can be fed moms expressed breastmilk or formula, whatever your preference is. Moms are always welcome to come by to breastfeed their baby, too.

(Learn more about food and mealtime at daycare.)

Odds and Ends

The teacher to child ratio is not specified, but Kindercare ensures that they are low and are in accordance with state regulations.  

Kindercare charges parents weekly for full-timers and part-timers. That means you will not get refunded for missed days for any reason.

In the case that your child misses a whole week, you may get that week discounted. 

Kindercare Tuition Examples

Like most large-scale daycares, the tuition at Kindercare is not posted publicly online. However, if you are interested in knowing what the tuition is for a specific Kindercare center that you have in mind, you can always call and ask.

Though we can’t give you the exact tuition for Kindercare, from what we can find out online, most centers charge around $150-$450 per week. 

Rates depend on how old your child is and where you live in the country. If you live somewhere where the cost of living is high, you can expect to pay more for childcare as well.

Infants will be more expensive to send, while older kids will be less expensive.

One reviewer reported they were paying $360 a week in 2019, and another reviewer said they paid $490 a week in 2021.

What Real Parents Are Saying About Kindercare Schools

Pros

Great staff

“The main takeaway… is that this place is full of wonderful staff and my son loves it here. He always comes home and talks about everything he’s learned and can’t wait to come back- he insists on being there for as much of the day as he can be.” -Dana P.,  real Yelp review

Reviewers consistently call out specific teachers that they love in their reviews.

The staff at Kindercare, in general, seem to form a special connection with each child, which helps children adjust to the new normal and want to keep coming back.

Clean

“They are very strict in following the rules for COVID-19, Taking the temperature every day, disinfecting the toys, and the teachers wearing masks all day, which made me feel very safe to leave the children with them.” -Anna, real Google review 

Many Kindercare centers are praised for their cleanliness, especially in our post-pandemic world. The centers seem to take the CDC guidance for masking, sanitizing, and distancing very seriously.

Good Communication

“The teachers are incredibly caring and send wonderful pictures and notes.” -Jessica, real Google review

“We love the portal where we can view daily activities or they can send messages at any time.” -Krissy, real Google review

Parents all over love to get frequent updates from their child’s teachers.

When you send your child to Kindercare, you can get photo and video updates throughout the day, as well as a report on how many diaper changes they had and when they happened, as well as the feeding and napping schedules they followed.

Cons

High Teacher to Child Ratio

“Kindercare is all about the money too many kids not enough staff not enough teachers.” Gena S., real Yelp review

“They were also adding a 5th child to a room with one adult. Not legal… not ok.” -Danielle, real Google review

Some Kindercare reviews were poor because of staffing issues. According to some people, there weren’t enough teachers to watch all the children at certain Kindercare centers. Some reviewers complained that teachers that were there were inattentive.

Billing Issues

“They have a horrible billing system that charges way more than agreed upon.” -Angel, real Google review

“They always sending me incorrect payment notice. In total I got 5 payment notices and 4 of them are wrong.” -Snow, real Yelp review

Several people cited billing issues in their negative Kindercare reviews. Some of this was caused by the company being a large corporate entity, with parents waiting on managers who were waiting for approval from people higher-up to issue certain refunds.

Wrapping Up

Kindercare, as a large-scale childcare company, is held to a higher standard with lots of accreditations and a variety of programs.

This can also be a downside, though, as some branches may slip through the cracks when it comes to quality.

The TL;DR here is that, when selecting the right daycare for your kid or kids, you ultimately need to go with your gut.

Go check out the place for yourself, meet the staff, and take advantage of any freebies they may have (Kindercare lets your kids go one day for free). 

After this initial assessment, you will have a good or bad feeling about the daycare. It’s good to trust your instincts here. Check reviews for your local center, and you will have a good idea on quality. 

If you have other questions about Kindercare, be sure to check out their website and Kindercare family handbook.

All news will cost more to parents of Togliatti preschoolers. Since July 1, the municipal authorities have increased the payment for attending urban preschool institutions. They explained the need for an unpopular measure by a noticeable increase in food prices.

— Groceries have become much more expensive, and it has become more difficult to feed children with delicious healthy food. That is why the fee for childcare and childcare in the municipal educational institutions of the city district of Togliatti increased by 12% and amounted to 136.81 rubles per day for parents of children under the age of 3, 165.77 rubles – from 3 years. For parents of children with special needs, the price was 63.34 rubles and 74.92 rubles, the administration said.

As officials explained, the increase affected both municipal kindergartens and institutions that belong to the “Planet of Childhood” system. The rise in prices will not affect orphans and other privileged categories of citizens.

As for schools, they have increased the payment for school meals. This happened back in winter, but it is possible that in the new academic year the cost of lunches will again be revised upwards – prices have again increased markedly.

In addition to the tariff for kindergarten, Togliatti residents have increased communal housing. Here in one picture we made a layout where everything can be seen clearly. According to industry experts, there are several reasons for the increase in tariffs. And one of them is the need to raise wages for employees of institutions that serve the home.

  And a little more about us

  Our private kindergarten in Novosibirsk “Visiting the Sun” provides all the conditions for the harmonious growth and development of your child, to improve his health and increase intelligence. We have an affordable cost of services, it is possible to pay with maternity capital!

  Having crossed the threshold of our garden, the baby finds himself in the most comfortable environment. We have a lot of toys that the child will not find at home, and there are also games prepared by our teachers that contribute to the early development of children’s skills, in particular, speech, communication, and the formation of vocabulary.

  Our children master and improve their level in various activities: singing, drawing, various needlework. All of our classes are taught by experienced and qualified teachers. Parents themselves do not always have time for this, and it is more convenient for the child himself to do such things in an environment of peers who do the same.

  Our principle is the most individual approach to the child with the disclosure of his abilities and preparation for independent living. Our private kindergarten in Novosibirsk has developed considerable experience and a positive reputation in this regard.

  The main priorities of our institution are the well-being of each child and his safety. The small number of children in each group allows teachers to pay attention to each of them.

  The program of our kindergarten “Visiting the Sun” implies a full-fledged early development and includes educational, creative, play blocks. We strive not only to teach children to draw, sing, count, think logically, but to give them a comprehensive understanding of the world around them, to realize their creative potential and reveal their talents.
