Perry Mendel, 78, was founder of Kindercare
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - Perry Mendel, founder and former chairman of KinderCare Learning Centers, which grew into the nation's largest day-care chain, died Saturday from complications from cancer. He was 78.
Mendel founded KinderCare in Montgomery in 1969 and capitalized on the growing number of women entering the workplace and needing child care. Through the 1970s his company became the nation's biggest day-care operation, with more than 1,000 centers in more than 30 states.
In the 1980s, the Montgomery-based corporation ventured into financial services and retailing and Mendel's career crumbled in financial scandal.
He pleaded guilty to failure to pay taxes on fees he received in a 1985 deal involving Michael Milken, who headed the junk bond department of the now-defunct Drexel Burnham Lambert.
Mendel served about nine months of a one-year federal sentence.
