Corporate Services

Businesses have a vested interest in the quality, availability and affordability of child care in their communities. Without this important infrastructure service, employers would be hard pressed to have the skilled, reliable work force that they need to be successful. Child Care Network offers a variety of services to businesses as they explore ways to support their employees' need for stable child care.

There are many ways that businesses can enhance their work/family benefits, ranging from providing a small parenting resource library, to a full fledged on-site child care center. Child Care Network has consulted with many businesses, large and small, to assess employee needs and find the best, most affordable options for employers to consider when developing dependent care benefits.
