The Cost of Childcare Instability

1 in 3 employees are actively balancing childcare and work, so it comes as no surprise that 82% of employers who offer child care benefits report improved productivity in their workforce; and when parents have access to reliable childcare, they avoid up to 16 absences from work each year.

More than 50% of Americans, and 51% of Colorado residents live in a childcare desert - where there are too few slots at local child care facilities to serve the number of children needing care.

86% of working parents are more likely to stay with employers who provide childcare benefits.

1 in 5 employees report leaving a job because the employer did not provide any form of care benefits.

On average, the lack of affordable, reliable infant-toddler child care alone costs the U.S. economy $122 billion each year in lost earnings, productivity, and hiring expenses.
