Abstract

Quality, affordable child care is important to parents in both the public and private sectors. However, finding good and convenient child care can be very difficult. Across the country, public and private sector employers have developed a wide range of services to assist parents in obtaining child care. In 1982, 95 percent of the corporations offering child care programs reported measurable benefits to their companies from these programs, including reduced turnover, reduced absenteeism and increases in productivity, job performance and morale. Employer-sponsored child care has a positive effect on recruitment of new employees and improves employee attitudes toward the employer. Assisting working parents also enhances corporate image and community relations.' As information concerning the need for and benefits of employer-sponsored child care have increased, assuring the availability of child care for children of state employees has become an issue of active interest to state elected officials.
