Employer Supported Care

Child care is an essential part of our local and national workforce. According to the Montana Department of Labor and Industry (DLI), 40% of Montana businesses say that lack of affordable child care impacts their ability to recruit and retain workers.

As an employer there are a variety of ways that employers can support their employees’ child care needs, and Child Care Connections is here to help you along the way.
