About the KinderCare Ethics Hotline.

An ethical culture starts with you.

When it comes to ethics, we know that the small decisions we make and little actions we take every day as KinderCare Learning Companies employees, parents, and community members define KLC’s culture. Speak up if something is wrong. Act honestly and respectfully. Do business with integrity. You have the tools to make decisions and help protect a culture of the utmost ethical standard.

If you’re facing an ethics issue, the first action you can take is to ask for help:

• Do a gut check. Ask yourself: Is this right? Would I want my actions shown on the evening news? What would I tell my child to do?
• As an employee, use your resources, including your manager and HRBP, or consider reaching out to the Employee Support Center for guidance.
• As a parent or community member, reach out to your center director for insight and resources.

Take action via the Ethics Support Line.

In situations where you prefer to place an anonymous report in confidence, you are encouraged to use the Ethics Support Line below, hosted by a third-party hotline provider, EthicsPoint. Our support line is a confidential way to report possible violations of our Code of Ethics or any accounting, internal controls, or audit-related complaints. You may contact the Ethics Support Line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

KLC will never retaliate against you for honestly reporting suspected ethics issues. The information you provide will be sent to us by EthicsPoint on a totally confidential and anonymous basis if you should choose. We will treat you with respect as we address your concerns.
