Business Role

The state’s economic stability, businesses and child care are tightly linked. When workers can’t work due to a lack of affordable child care, they’re not the only ones who suffer.

ABC Quality and SC Child Care Resource & Referral partner to help South Carolina businesses assist their employees and communities with child care. Whether developing a new onsite program or crafting more family-friendly workplace policies, SC CCR&R’s free early child care advisory services help businesses make child care work better for workers.

Helping Businesses Help Workers
