Why Invest in Child Care?

Data for Maine Public/Private Partnerships Options for Employers Current Research Bottom-Line Benefits

If all the child care providers decided to close their doors, how would this affect your business?

  • How many people would be absent from work?
  • How much income would be be lost?
  • How much business would be lost?

If child care doesn't work, neither do the people who depend on it.

Child care is central to the economic well-being of families, businesses, and communities. In most two-parent families, both parents are in the workforce. More than 10 million workers are single parents. Over the next 10 years, it is projected the 85% of the workforce will be working parents. Investment in quality child care doesn't just benefit the workforce today-it's an investment in the work force of the future.
