In October of 2024, KinderCare conducted its IPO, selling over 27 million shares of common stock at $24 per share.
On April 3, 2025, the Bear Cave published a report alleging, among other things, that KinderCare “fails to deliver the safe and nurturing environment it promises parents and taxpayers” and is “a broken business that harms the children and families it claims to help.” Specifically, the report detailed several incidents of child neglect and abuse that had occurred at KinderCare daycares and stated that on several occasions, individuals employed by KinderCare were later arrested on charges of child sex abuse.
On this news, KinderCare’s stock price fell $1.59, or 12.4%, to close at $11.19 per share on April 3, 2025, thereby injuring investors.
Then, on June 5, 2025, the Bear Cave published a second report stating that “allegations against [KinderCare] are growing, [and] lawmakers are demanding accountability.” Specifically, the report cited a statement from a congresswoman questioning the continued federal funding of KinderCare.
On this news, KinderCare’s stock price fell $0.63, or 5.5%, to close at $10.78 per share on June 5, 2025, thereby injuring investors further.
The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Registration Statement, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that numerous incidents of child abuse, neglect, and harm had occurred at KinderCare facilities; (2) that KinderCare did not provide the “highest quality care possible” at its facilities, and, indeed, in numerous instances had failed to provide even basic care, meet minimum standards in the child care industry, or comply with the laws and regulations governing the care of children; (3) that, as a result of the foregoing, KinderCare was exposed to a material, undisclosed risk of lawsuits, adverse regulatory action, negative publicity, reputational damage, and business loss; and (4) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.
