WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP?
childcare affects everyone!
Childcare is essential for working parents to be able to maintain employment, which in turn is crucial for the economy. Without access to childcare options, parents may have to leave the workforce or reduce their hours, which can result in lost income and decreased productivity for businesses—thinner margins, limited product availability, decrease in customer satisfaction, and more.
