Employer Partnerships
A Benefit Your Team Will Thank You For
Child care benefits that more than pay for themselves
Child Care is a Workforce Issue
As the availability of child care has fallen, costs have soared, up nearly 220% over three decades.¹ For working parents, unreliable care means missed days, constant stress, and sometimes leaving the workforce entirely. For employers, it means turnover, absenteeism, and lost productivity that never shows up as a line item but always shows up in results.
- 1 in 5 employees have left a job because their employer didn't offer family care benefits²
- Child care benefits help employees avoid two weeks of absences per year³
-
Retaining just 1% of eligible employees covers the cost of offering the benefit³

A Benefit Families Can Feel
Every parent knows the 7 a.m. scramble when care falls through, and every manager knows what it does to the day. Solve the care question and you don't just get hours back, you get attention, energy, and loyalty. Unlike a one-time bonus, a child care benefit renews its value every morning at drop-off.
- Retention: a daily reason to stay
- Attraction: the benefit that decides offers
- Productivity: fewer absences, fewer distracted days
- Engagement: supported at home, all in at work
Options for Your Business & Your People
No two workforces are alike, so partnerships aren't one-size-fits-all. Mix and match the options below, and many come at little to no cost to your business.
Tuition Benefits
Ease the financial burden of child care with flexible tuition savings for your employees, structured to fit your budget and goals. You decide the level of support; we make it simple to deliver.
Priority Access
Skip the waitlist. Give your employees access to reserved spaces from infant care through pre-K at participating schools, so a new hire's start date doesn't hinge on an opening.
Flexible Schedules
Part-time or full-time enrollment that flexes with real work schedules, with doors that open early so early shifts don't become late ones. Care that matches how your team actually works.
School Break Care
When school's out, we're in. From teacher workdays to seasonal breaks to summer camp, children keep learning and exploring while parents stay focused.
Everything You Need to Know
What does a partnership cost?
It depends on the options you choose, and several, like priority access, come at little to no cost to your business. Tuition benefits are structured around your budget and goals. We'll walk you through the models and the numbers in a first call, no commitment attached.
How quickly can we launch?
Faster than most benefits. Because our schools already exist near your people, there's no facility to build and no program to stand up, once we agree on the structure, your employees can start enrolling.
Where are your schools?
Across eight states, with schools rooted in the neighborhoods where your employees already live. Share your locations and we'll map them against our schools as a first step.
We're a small business. Is this still for us?
Yes. Partnerships scale down as well as up, and for smaller teams, even a modest benefit makes an outsized impression. Some of our most valued partnerships support just a handful of families.

We'd love to talk and create a partnership that benefits your team.
