USA

Demand for high-quality, early education and care has never been higher in the United States. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly 62 percent of families with children have two parents employed – more than ever before.

• 8.6 million children in the U.S. have two working parents (Child Care Aware of America, 2018), and the demand for high-quality preschools and childcare is increasing;
• Children’s daycare services made a total of $47.8 billion in revenue in 2016 and are projected to earn $52.5 billion by 2021 (Diment, 2016);
• Although nearly 15 million children under the age of six require childcare (Child Care Aware of America, 2018), which is consistent with previous years, indicators show the demand for preschools and childcare will increase.

Investing in education also gives you the opportunity to make a positive difference in children’s lives while providing for your family and yourself.
