Referral Service for Employees
When employees need to find child care in order to get to work, or are experiencing child care
related problems, our Child Care Referral Service can help.
Increase Productivity
There are over 450 registered and licensed child care options in Chittenden County alone! Researching and
interviewing can take up to 30 hours, most of which happen during business hours. After spending less than
an hour with your employee, the referral service will conduct the research necessary to provide the parent
with the available options that suit their needs. Not only is the employee relieved from spending many work
hours looking for child care, but they are also given the peace of mind that a professional is working with
them.
Protect Morale
Help parents make child care choices they feel good about! Referral specialists help parents explore child
care considerations, work through both the emotional and practical aspects of choosing care, and make the
best choices available for their families. Employed parents who experience fewer breakdowns in their child
care arrangements are more satisfied with their lives in general, are less stressed, and report better
coping abilities; they also make better co-workers.
Prevent Absenteeism and Reduce Turnover
Making the right decision is not always easy. Our referral specialists coach parents on how to choose
reliable, quality child care that really meets their needs over the long run. The result is less
absenteeism and tardiness due to child care issues.
