Learning begins at birth—and it never ever stops! We take our teaching seriously here because we know the first five years of life are the most critical in a child’s development. And our assessments show we’re doing a great job!
But families with young learners need more than great child care which is why we give back to and partner with non-profit programs that enhance educational opportunities for children and families all over the country, including:
- Kids In Need Foundation (KINF)
- Schoolhouse Supplies
- Start Making a Reader Today
- The Children's Book Bank
- The Dougy Center
- Pride Northwest, Inc.
These organizations emphasize the importance of education equity, early childhood literacy, whole-child health, and more.

Help us get school supplies to students in need!
Being prepared for the school year helps kids have a successful start. We are so excited to partner with the Kids In Need Foundation (KINF) to help children across the country get the school supplies they need to be successful in the classroom. This foundation supports over 200,000 teachers and 5,000,000 students annually—and you can help! See how far KinderCare kids go!
In 2019, we celebrated our 50th birthday and the achievements of our college-bound alumni by launching an annual scholarship program called the KinderCare Kids Scholarship Fund. We awarded 50 college scholarships to 50 students who got their start at KinderCare!
In 2021, the competition is tighter! We’re awarding 10 scholarships of $5,000 each to KinderCare graduates (from anywhere in the United States) who are headed to college! Scholarship applications are open from November 1, 2021 through March 1, 2022, and must be submitted through the office of Student Access and Completion. Winners will be announced in June!
