While on-site care is often associated with larger companies, it can be tailored for businesses of various sizes. Smaller companies can explore shared on-site or near-site facilities with other businesses or invest in scalable solutions that fit their budget and employee needs.

Understanding the needs of your employees is a critical piece to finding the solution that’s right for you. Depending on the size of your workforce, your operating hours (e.g. seasonal, 24/7, by appointment only) and whether, how often and how many of your employees work remotely or on-site at a central location will impact whether there’s enough “critical mass” to take advantage of the child care solution(s) that you choose to implement. The 3-minute questionnaire can help you examine these factors and get personalized child care solutions that are right for your workforce. For example:

• If your organization has a large number of employees (more than 500) working on site at predictable hours, then we recommend an on-site or near-site child care center.
• If your organization has a large  number of employees but most don’t come to the work site on a regular, predictable schedule, then we recommend a child care partnership to provide your employees with more flexibility in accessing a child care benefit that matches their work routine.
• We would also recommend a child care partnership if your workforce is smaller. In this case, even if your employees are on site 4 or 5 days a week, there may not be enough children to develop a new on-site or near-site child care center, but there is likely a large enough number of employees and their children to attend an existing child care program in the area.
