The year 2010 will not be remembered as a banner year for large for profit child care organizations. But it appears that heading into 2011, optimism has returned. This article presents the twenty-fourth annual status report on for profit child care organizations. In 2010, the total capacity of the three largest for profit chains in North America, KinderCare Learning Centers, Learning Care Group, and Bright Horizons Family Solutions declined slightly. This is a continuation of a trend that has held for the past four years with their combined capacity declining slightly each year.
