Increase Productivity
There are over 350 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.
