Our History
KLC began as Children's Discovery Centers in 1983. In 2003, following its acquisition
of Children's World Learning Centers, it expanded to more than 700 community centers
and 450 onsite school programs.
In 2005, KLC joined forces with KinderCare Learning Centers, Inc. (KinderCare).
KinderCare was founded in 1969 and in 2005 operated over 1,250 centers. The KinderCare
merger made KLC the nation's largest private child care and education provider.
