Developing on-site child care centers is no easy task, and it doesn’t come cheap, between building the center itself, employing providers and complying with state regulations. But after three decades, Mattel can confidently say their Child Development Center has been worth it. 

Located in the El Segundo, California campus, Mattel’s subsidized, on-site care center celebrated its 30th anniversary this year. The center, which is managed by the child education company Bright Horizons, provides care for employees’ children, ranging from infants to pre-kindergarten.
