[quote=Anonymous]Communikids is a local chain but is funded through private equity.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cNt comment on that school but if PE is a trend coming to daycares, that's horrible. Mine is part of a small local chain and for example our ratios are better than the state standard. There is a lot of attention. That is part of the brand and yes it's $$$ (arent they all). I could see PE really "optimizing" staffing in a way that sucks for the kids and lowers teacher retention. They don't have the same attachment to the kids or the quality and reputation of the product, it's all fungible for ROI.[/quote]

If yours is a chain it probably has private equity backing. If it’s not a non-profit, it’s backed by private equity. [/quote]

no, small local for-profit chains (e.g. in MoCo Kidsco Jr., Children in the Shoe, Bright Eyes Early Learning) are not likely to be PE -backed. These are typically family-owned companies. PE-backed daycares in our area include Bright Horizons, Childtime and Goddard School.[/quote][/quote]
