KinderCare Learning Companies

New research from the KinderCare 2026 Parent Confidence Index shows Minnesota dads want to be more present with their children, but reliable child care remains one of the biggest barriers. Access to safe, consistent care doesn’t just support working families; it creates more opportunities for parents to focus on what matters most: being there for their kids. https://lnkd.in/dg5Bk8W7
