The Partnership That Brought This Tool to Life

Executives Partnering to Invest in Children (EPIC) is a nonprofit founded by business executives to directly engage with the business community on solutions that build the workforce of tomorrow while supporting the workforce of today. This includes direct work with employers to increase access to high-quality and affordable child care and early education, helping them attract and retain the best workforce while enabling families, children, and the economy to thrive. EPIC engages with employers and community partners as an experienced and neutral expert to help them explore, plan, and implement child care supports that are right-sized and sustainable. This helps ensure win-win-win solutions meet the needs of employers, employees, and local communities.

Child care solutions exist for all companies, no matter the size.

To strategically invest in child care benefits, you need to consider three key barriers for your employees:

Increase child care supply and access

The crux of the child care crisis is that there simply are not enough child care seats to go around. We believe it is our collective responsibility to increase child care supply, in whatever way we can contribute.

Make child care
options more affordable

The math is simple: Parents need to earn more than child care costs. Alleviating this financial imbalance will allow parents to engage in the workforce as they choose.

Create a parent-friendly company culture

Supporting families is the pathway to business success. Become a leader in company culture and reap the benefits of being the employer of choice in your community.
