Communities/Businesses
Employers, economic development programs and other community leaders can and should understand the role they can play in planning for a vital economy and thriving society that share the same goals, reliable and dependable child care. Not only does this help families thrive, but it also helps grow our economy by making sure the work force stays intact.

Today’s labor force is increasingly dependent upon a new source of workers- parents who both work, and single parents. Pro Action Child Care Council can assist employers who recognize the link between supportive family policies and good business.
- Free initial consultation on the world of child care and a variety of “family friendly” initiatives for businesses of all sizes.
- Feasibility studies, planning and assistance with the implementation of family-oriented policies
such as flexible work hours, a wide array of benefits or dependent care assistance plans. - Enhanced child care resource and referral services, on site seminars, information booths and/or financial assistance information tailored to the needs of specific employee groups.
