KinderCare at Northwestern University

“For us, KinderCare has been a Godsend. When my maternity leave was over, I knew that it would be difficult to leave my first child. However, I was fortunate enough to have a KinderCare close…where I work. The close proximity allowed me to visit my son every day on my lunch hour.” - Michelle Swanson-Mungerson, Post-Doctoral Fellow, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine
