Walgreens

Custom-designed child care benefits meet the needs of a nationwide team.

The Client

Walgreens, the largest retail pharmacy chain in the United States, operates over 9,000 locations nationwide and employs approximately 240,000 team members. Headquartered in Deerfield, Illinois, the company sought to expand its child care offerings to ensure safe, high-quality care for their vast workforce across all 50 states.

The Opportunity

To attract and retain top talent, Walgreens focused on helping employees balance work and life by providing tuition savings on high-quality child care. Despite existing partnerships, Walgreens turned to KinderCare Learning Companies to broaden and enhance its child care benefits, ensuring accessibility for all its employees nationwide.

The Solution

Through our partnership, Walgreens introduced a comprehensive Tuition Benefit program that includes savings for early childhood education as well as before- and after-school care through KinderCare’s school-age program, Champions®. To maximize employee engagement, KinderCare collaborated with Walgreens’ Work-Life and Communications teams on a targeted awareness strategy. This included a series of open houses at KinderCare and Champions programs near Walgreens’s headquarters, plus flyer distribution, newsletters, and intranet postings. Seasonal promotions, special offers, and resources on child development and parenting further engaged families with the program

The Results

Walgreens’ Tuition Benefit launched at the end of 2013 and has steadily grown. In 2023, employees and their families collectively saved $249,000.

I am very excited about being able to partner with KinderCare because they have so many locations, as well as a great curriculum and flexible scheduling our team members need. Their footprint enabled us to implement a child care solution for the largest possible number of team members through a single partnership. This is an invaluable benefit to our team members throughout the country.
