Child Care Search Magnet
Quality child care is invaluable! “Investments in quality child care are essential to support both children’s healthy development and parents’ success in the workplace,” Rose Marcario, President & CEO, Patagonia.
The availability of high quality, reliable child care helps to ATTRACT and retain employees with young families, helps to maintain employee morale and helps to reduce absenteeism, tardiness, turnover and productivity issues related to child care insecurity.
“In a national survey, 14 percent of respondents reported that in the previous year, someone in the family had to quit a job, not take a job, or greatly change a job because of problems with child care. With regard to impact on businesses, research shows that parents dealing with child care challenges take an average of five to nine days off work annually and resulting costs to employers top $3 billion a year.”
