Childcare and after-school programs are in demand in the United States and across the globe. In fact, according to The World Bank, more than 350 million children lack quality childcare in the world. At Safari Kid, we're proud to offer programs that go above and beyond, with proprietary curriculums focused on nurturing the whole child.

According to Grand View Research’s 2023 Share & Trends Report, the childcare market in the U.S. was worth $60.4 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.18% from 2023 to 2030. The driving force behind this growth is the increased need for early daycare and education services. 

With a higher number of parents returning to traditional office settings, more single and working mothers, and technological advancements in the education space for children, demand for early day care is surging. Grand View Research’s report also found that government funding for these services makes them more accessible. While the cost of daycare in the U.S. is significant, many families are willing to pay up to 7% of their household income for this valuable service. This suggests a high demand for child care services across the country.
