Employer-sponsored early education and child care are paired with backup care and educational advisory services. The platform serves working families and employees, with Full Service Center-Based Child Care as its largest reported segment.
Runs employer-sponsored early education and child-care centers while also providing center- and in-home backup care for children and senior dependents. Sittercity, a digital marketplace for flexible in-home care and tutoring, sits within Back-Up Care.
Educational Advisory Services include tuition-program management, student-loan repayment, educational advising, and college advising. Together, the three segments extend the relationship beyond stand-alone centers to care and workforce education.
The center footprint spans the United States, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Australia, and India. Full Service Center-Based Child Care remains the largest reported segment, while HEART principles—Honesty, Excellence, Accountability, Respect, and Teamwork—underpin the operating culture.
