Financial Stocks - kinder care stock


Expert: Paul Henneman - 12/30/2008

Question
what is the current value of my kinder care stock?

Answer
Thank you for your question!
From what I can tell, Kindercare is not a publicly traded stock. This makes it more difficult to determine the stocks worth.  The most recent information I can find refers to a buy out of the company in 2004 at $25.94 per share. Here is a link to what I found:

Here is another link to a 2004 article on KinderCare:

There may have been more activity since then. The value of your stock will be based on how many shares you have, multiplied but the current value per share. Assuming that KinderCare is a private company, and it looks like it is, your stock will not be very liquid in that you may have trouble cashing it in. The only real way to determine exactly how much your stock is worth, and what your options are to turn your stock into actual money, is to contact the company.  It appears that the company is now owned by Knowledge Learning, the KinderCare website refers to this. The Knowledge Learning website has a link for "Investor Relations", this is where you want to go. Here is the direct link:

http://www.knowledgelearning.com/investor-relations/

There is a phone number and email address at the bottom of this page. Be sure to include any information you have in your inquiry, including number of shares, the full name of the owner of the stock, when the stock was acquired and how.

I hope that this helps! Please do not hesitate to follow up with me if I can be of any further service,

Sincerely,
Paul Henneman
