Child Care Market Dynamics

Drivers

Rising Interest in Early Learning and Development
First-time parents are increasingly requesting educational elements in childcare services, whether this be implicit , or explicit. Early Education & Daycare environments incorporate structured program/activities that and focus on long or short-term learning and development for children in care. As this trend continues to grow individual parental willingness to spend resources on quality educational childcare options will only increase.

Increasing Dual-Income Households
Economic trends, and the disinvestment of many traditional family/work structures have increased the number of households with two working parents who require organized childcare for support. In the U.S., U.K., and Japan this increase has been fueled by urbanization and reduced familial support through extended family structures.

Government Support and Subsides
Government agencies from both developed and emerging markets are providing level of funding through subsidies, tax breaks for childcare as well as building childcare infrastructure to improve accessibility. The U.S. government has provided approximately $1 billion in recent months for funding for early education and daycare programs and demonstrates that easing policies aimed at affordable quality childcare are a clearly evolving trend in policy thinking.

Restraints

These programs improve processes for enrolment, payment, and parent communication and allow for personalized learning, progress updates, etc.

More Innovative Service Models

Providers such as Bright Horizons and KLAY are enhancing their service models to provide additional services including: at-home learning programs, back up care, and corporate partnerships to cover a full range of parental needs.
