Child care resources donāt have to be hard to find. SC CCR&R is here to guide you in making the necessary decisions to keep your employees happy and to invest in South Carolinaās children and communities.
In South Carolina unmet child care demand is causing workforce shortages and absences. As an employer, you can support your workforceās child care needs and decrease the need for missed work days, attract a high-quality employee pool, and strengthen the workforce.
As an employer, there are several options to support your workforceās child care needs. This can look like:
- Surveying and determining the needs of employees to develop flexible and supportive child care policies
- Developing employee materials on finding quality child care, services offered by SC CCR&R, and information on child care scholarships
- Reserving slots for staff at a local child care program
- Offering Pre-tax flex spending accounts
- Providing tuition/scholarship benefits
