Business Role

The state’s economic stability and child care are tightly linked. The state’s well-being suffers when workers can’t join the labor force due to a lack of affordable child care.

ABC Quality partners with SC Child Care Resource & Referral to help South Carolina businesses seeking to aid employees and communities with the burdens of the child care crisis. Whether developing new onsite programs or crafting family-friendly policies, we can help make child care work better for the people who depend on you.

Helping Businesses Help Workers

A lack of quality child care — and the means to access it — are labor force issues the state and businesses cannot afford. There are ways employers can help, including:

Survey employees to develop or enhance child care policies
Provide child care scholarship and program quality resources
Reserve spaces at local child care programs on behalf of business staff
Offer pre-tax flexible spending accounts
Provide tuition/scholarship benefits
Assist with development of onsite or nearby programs
Connect community volunteers to early care-focused organizations
Guide philanthropic efforts toward effective early care efforts
