Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	ACQUISITIONS As part of the Company’s growth strategy to expand through strategic and synergistic acquisitions, the Company has made the following acquisitions in the three months ended March 31, 2016 and year ended December 31, 2015. The goodwill resulting from these acquisitions arises largely from synergies expected from combining the operations of the businesses acquired with our existing operations, as well as from benefits derived from the assembled workforce acquired. 2016 Acquisitions During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company acquired three centers in the United Kingdom, which were accounted for as a business combination. The centers were acquired for cash consideration of $2.3 million. The Company recorded goodwill of $2.1 million related to the full service center-based care segment, a portion of which will be deductible for tax purposes. Intangible assets of $0.6 million, consisting primarily of customer relationships that will be amortized over five years, and a working capital deficit of $0.3 million were also recorded in relation to this acquisition. The allocation of purchase price consideration is based on preliminary estimates of fair value; such estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). As of March 31, 2016, the purchase price allocation for this acquisition remains open as the Company gathers additional information regarding the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The operating results for the acquired business are included in the consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition, which were not material to the Company's financial results. 2015 Acquisitions On May 19, 2015, the Company acquired Hildebrandt Learning Centers, LLC, an operator of 40 centers in the United States, for cash consideration of $19.2 million and contingent consideration of $0.5 million, which was accounted for as a business combination. The Company recorded goodwill of $13.2 million related to the full service center-based care segment, which will be deductible for tax purposes, and intangible assets of $5.7 million, consisting of customer relationships that will be amortized over 12 years.

On July 15, 2015, the Company acquired Active Learning Childcare Limited, an operator of nine centers in the United Kingdom, for cash consideration of $42.2 million, which was accounted for as a business combination. The Company recorded goodwill of $31.1 million related to the full service center-based care segment, which will not be deductible for tax purposes, and intangible assets of $3.8 million, consisting primarily of customer relationships that will be amortized over five years. The Company also acquired a working capital deficit of $1.8 million, including cash of $2.8 million, fixed assets of $9.8 million, and deferred tax liabilities of $0.7 million. Our acquisitions of Hildebrandt Learning Centers, LLC and Active Learning Childcare Limited contributed approximately $14.0 million of incremental revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2016. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company also acquired four additional centers in the United States and four additional centers in the United Kingdom, in six separate business acquisitions which were each accounted for as business combinations. The centers were acquired for cash consideration of $20.5 million and contingent consideration of $0.8 million net of cash acquired of $0.3 million. The Company recorded goodwill of $18.5 million related to the full service center-based care segment, a portion of which will be deductible for tax purposes. Intangible assets of $2.7 million, consisting primarily of customer relationships that will be amortized over five years, were also recorded in relation to these acquisitions. Contingent consideration of $0.5M related to one of these acquisitions was paid during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The allocation of purchase price consideration is based on preliminary estimates of fair value; such estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). As of March 31, 2016, the purchase price allocation for seven of these eight acquisitions remains open as the Company gathers additional information regarding the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The operating results for the acquired businesses are included in the consolidated results of operations from the dates of acquisition, which were not material to the Company's financial results.
