To be productive members
of the workforce of today, parents need to
know that their
children are well cared for:
- Twenty-five percent of employees with children
under the age of 12 have problems with child
care availability three to five times in
a three-month period
- Employers pay $3 billion a year due to
absenteeism directly related to child care
- Employees with work-family conflicts are
three times as likely to consider quitting
Children hold the key to the future, but to
become the leaders of tomorrow, children need
quality early care and education today. For
businesses, an investment in early education
can have a significant impact on your current,
and future workforce.
2006 Collaborative
for Children Corporate Campaign
“Building Commitment for the Workforce
of Tomorrow”
In order to build a strong base of support
for our newly merged organization, we have
developed a Corporate Campaign and a range
of sponsorship opportunities for area corporations
and businesses.
Early childhood education is one of the best
investments we can make to ensure a well-educated
and well-trained workforce.
Various ways corporations
can be involved with the Collaborative for
Children (CC):

infant, toddler, and preschool programs;
and strengthen the overall system through
policy development and systems change.
