How Can SC CCR&R Help Me as An Employer?
As an employer in South Carolina, you understand the importance of high-quality consistent child care for your workforce. However, it can feel daunting to identify resources available to you and make the best decisions for your workforce.
SC CCR&R’s catalog of employer resources allows you to view South Carolina’s child care demographics by county (scroll to the bottom of this page for our interactive map!), download and utilize an employee survey, and reach out to our Community Engagement Manager for one-on-one discussions about your company’s child care needs.
Child care resources don’t have to be hard to find. SC CCR&R is here to guide you in making the necessary decisions to keep your employees happy and to invest in South Carolina’s children and communities.
In South Carolina unmet child care demand is causing workforce shortages and absences. As an employer, you can support your workforce’s child care needs and decrease the need for missed work days, attract a high-quality employee pool, and strengthen the workforce.
As an employer, there are several options to support your workforce’s child care needs. This can look like:
- Surveying and determining the needs of employees to develop flexible and supportive child care policies
- Developing employee materials on finding quality child care, services offered by SC CCR&R, and information on child care scholarships
- Reserving slots for staff at a local child care program
- Offering Pre-tax flex spending accounts
- Providing tuition/scholarship benefits
- Opening an on-site or near-site child care program
