Shift to Education-Based Care
Parents are looking for a high-quality environment and learning activities from child care providers. Learning environment ranked just behind safety in most important factors when parents make child care decisions. In addition, studies have shown that center-based teachers typically have more education than home-based care providers, thus making them better equipped to engage children and prepare them for school and life.

Looking Ahead
A boom in the population of children age 5 and younger is expected to boost the growth of the childcare industry.3

2015 Population of Children 5 and Under – 21 million
2050 Population of Children 5 and Under – 30 million

Opportunity in the industry is growing. As a business that matters deeply to families and to communities, center-based and education-based child care provides a sound business opportunity to produce positive results for franchisees.
