In the wake of child abuse allegations surfacing at a RYB Education kindergarten in Beijing, public backlash has only intensified.
The company, which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, runs a network of nearly 500 kindergartens for children up to age six, in addition to over 1,300 directly-owned and franchised play-and-learn centers, located in 300 Chinese cities and towns, according to its website.
