Employer Early Childhood Accelerator

Your employees’ child care challenges are already costing you

Nebraskans are known for working hard through the toughest challenges. But when working parents don’t have access to quality, affordable child care, it’s often business owners who pay the cost. Lack of child care means more frequent absenteeism, lower productivity and higher rates of turnover. Over time, that makes it difficult to attract and retain the skilled workforce your business needs to stay agile and profitable. But we can help.
