Employer Resources

Supporting employees through early education resources and family-friendly policies.

Be a workforce that supports early learning and retains employees.

Without reliable child care, local businesses lose hundreds of work hours each month—impacting productivity, scheduling, and staff morale. By creating family-friendly work policies and partnering with the ELC of Osceola, employers can help reduce waitlist burdens and support working parents in staying in the workforce.

Supporting early learning varies for each employer; it can be as simple as sharing our resources with your employees during onboarding to becoming an ELC of Osceola Sponsor. We are here to help navigate the right solution for your business.
