Addressing childcare challenges faced by your employees will help ease the stress of balancing work and family commitments, fostering increased job satisfaction and productivity, ultimately reducing employee turnover.
Learn about Childcare Assistance for Your Employees
As a community partner, you can help to increase employee retention and improve productivity by helping to address childcare challenges. More parents are now eligible for financial assistance to help find adequate childcare through the Childcare Development and Care (CDC) Program.
Join the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity and the Michigan Department of Education Wednesdays in June from 12-12:30 p.m. to learn about resources to help parents with the cost of childcare. Learn more about the CDC Program including program eligibility, the application process, and how parents can find childcare in their area.
