SAN DIEGO, CA, UNITED STATES, November 11, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- TOOTRiS, the nation’s first and only real-time Child Care platform, today announced a new partnership with Kumon Math and Reading Centers across the Phoenix metropolitan area to provide working parents with expanded access to after-school and tutoring programs through employer-sponsored Child Care Benefits.
This collaboration marks an important milestone in empowering families with greater choice and flexibility when it comes to care and enrichment for their children. Through TOOTRiS, parents employed by several of Phoenix’s leading companies now have the ability to discover, compare, and enroll in Kumon’s world-renowned learning programs using their employer-sponsored Child Care Benefits to offset the cost.
