Properties, in its own words
Our principal executive office is located at 5005 Meadows Road, Lake Oswego, pursuant to the terms of a 7.3-year lease that was entered into in January 2022, with one seven-year renewal option, for approximately 34,153 square feet of space. In addition, as of January 3, 2026, we operated over 1,600 early childhood education centers, nearly all of which are leased. These leases include a master lease with KCP RE LLC with respect to approximately 500 of our centers across the United States, for which KCP RE LLC serves as the lessor. For most centers under the master lease, the initial term expires in 2033 and can be renewed at our option for two five-year periods. Our other center leases have expiration dates ranging from February 2026 to September 2044, including 60 leases expiring within the next 12 months, generally with renewal options. Other than our master lease with KCP RE LLC, we do not consider any of our leases, including our corporate headquarters, or our properties to be material to our operations.

Risk factors and legal proceedings
The risks KinderCare Learning Companies, Inc. names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Mar 13, 2026: 36 risks under these headings, as written.5
- Risks Related to our Business
- Our success depends on our ability to attract and retain families in our centers, schools and programs, and to attract and retain employers that contract with us for family care benefits for their workforce.
- Changes in the demand for child care and workplace solutions, which may be negatively affected by demographic trends and economic conditions, including unemployment rates, may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
- Our business depends largely on our ability to hire and retain qualified teachers and maintain strong employee engagement.
- A permanent shift in workforce demographics and office environments may result in decreased demand for center-based or site-based child care and have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
- We depend on key management and key employees to manage our business.
- Because our success depends substantially on the value of our brands and reputation as a provider of choice, adverse publicity could impact the demand for our services.
- Significant competition in our industry could adversely affect our results of operations.
- Our profitability depends on our ability to manage our labor costs.
- Our ability to secure affordable real estate leases and renew existing leases on terms acceptable to us may affect our operating results.
- Our reliance on third-party vendors and service providers exposes us to operational and cost risks that could adversely affect our business.
- Our operating results are subject to seasonal fluctuations.
The other 25 risks
- Our business may be affected by delays, disruptions or reductions in federally funded childcare subsidies or tuition reimbursements or from reductions in certain federal, state and local government programs.
- Governmental universal child care benefit programs could reduce the demand for our services.
- Acquisitions present many risks and may disrupt our operations. We also may not realize the financial and strategic goals that were contemplated at the time of the transaction.
- Public health crises and outbreaks of widespread health pandemics or epidemics have in the past and may in the future adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
- Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected by various litigation and regulatory proceedings.
- We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and if we fail to remediate this material weakness in a timely manner or at all, we may not be able to comply with our financial reporting obligations, which could expose us to legal and business risks and uncertainties.
- Risks Related to Our Indebtedness, Capital Requirements and Capital Structure
- Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our ability to obtain capital to fund our operations, limit our flexibility in operating our business, expose us to interest rate risk to the extent of our variable rate debt, and limit cash flow available to invest in the ongoing needs of our business.
- We may require additional capital to meet our financial obligations and support business growth, and this capital may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.
- We are a holding company with no operations of our own, and we depend on our subsidiaries for cash.
- Inadequacy of our insurance coverage or an inability to procure contractually required coverage could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
- Impairment of goodwill, other intangible assets or long-lived assets has negatively impacted, and may in the future negatively impact, our results of operations.
- Risks Related to Intellectual Property, Information Technology and Data Privacy and Security
- If we are unable to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
- We rely significantly on the use of information technology, as well as those of our third-party service providers. Any significant failure, inadequacy, interruption or data security incident of our information technology systems, or those of our third-party service providers, could disrupt our business operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition and/ or cash flows.
- Our actual or perceived failure to comply with stringent and evolving laws, regulations, rules, contractual obligations, policies, and other obligations related to data privacy and security may materially and adversely affect us.
- Use and storage of paper records increases risk of loss, destruction and could increase human error with respect to documentation.
- Our collection, use, storage, disclosure, transfer and other processing of personal information could give rise to significant costs and liabilities, including as a result of governmental regulation, uncertain or inconsistent interpretation and enforcement of legal requirements or differing views of personal privacy rights, which may have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.
- We recently implemented cloud computing arrangements and may experience issues with the transition or the new arrangements may prove ineffective.
- Risks Related to our Common Stock
- Our stock price may be volatile, which could cause you to lose a significant part of your investment.
- Because Partners Group owns a significant percentage of our common stock, it controls major corporate decisions and its interests may conflict with your interests as an owner of our common stock and our interests.
- We are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the NYSE rules and, as a result, will qualify for, and may rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements.
- Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market by our existing stockholders could cause our stock price to fall.
- Some provisions of our governing documents and Delaware law may have anti-takeover effects that could discourage an acquisition of us by others, even if an acquisition would be beneficial to our stockholders, and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.
- General Risks
- Our failure to comply with, or adapt to changes in, the highly complex legal and regulatory framework applicable to our business could harm our operations, operating results and financial condition.
- Natural disasters, geo-political events and other highly disruptive events could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Legal proceedings
We are, from time to time, subject to claims, suits, and matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Such claims have in the past generally been covered by insurance, but there can be no assurance that our insurance will be adequate to cover all liabilities that may arise out of claims or matters brought against us. We believe the resolution of such legal matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, although we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of any such actions.
Material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, to which we are a party or of which any of our property is the subject, includes the following:
On August 12, 2025, a purported Company stockholder filed a securities class action complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon against the Company, Paul Thompson, Anthony Amandi, John T. Wyatt, Jean Desravines, Christine Deputy, Michael Nuzzo, Benjamin Russell, Joel Schwartz, Alyssa Waxenberg, Preston Grasty, each of whom were officers or directors at the time of our initial public offering ("IPO"), Partners Group Holding AG, our majority stockholder, and the representatives of the underwriters in our IPO, Goldman Sachs & Co LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co LLC, Barclays Capital Inc., and UBS Securities LLC. A consolidated complaint was filed on February 6, 2026 alleging that defendants violated Sections 11, 15, and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 by making material misstatements or omissions in offering documents filed in connection with the IPO. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, interest, fees, and costs on behalf of purchasers and/or acquirers of common stock issued in the IPO, as well as unspecified equitable relief. We intend to vigorously defend against the claims in this action. Any potential loss arising from this claim is not currently probable or estimable.
