Child Care Solutions: How States Are Engaging Employers
Revamping Child Care through Employer Engagement
Child care is becoming increasingly essential for many families, and states are recognizing the pivotal role that employers can play in bolstering support. By introducing child care as a viable employee benefit, similar to health insurance, states aim to make child care more accessible for working parents.
Innovative Approaches to Child Care
- Incentivizing employers to provide child care benefits.
- Creating partnerships between state agencies and businesses.
- Offering tax credits for companies that invest in child care.
These strategies not only assist families but also help businesses in attracting and retaining talent.
