Wondering About Child Care In The Work Place?

Choosing childcare

Did you know that during the first few years of life, a human being is capable of absorbing more information at a time than they will ever be able to again? Therefore, when choosing a Pa daycare or a PA childcare, you want to make sure that you are choosing a quality facility that will foster your child’s development and learning.

A staggering number of children pass some amount of time in daycare. In fact, according to national statistics, more than 80 percent of kids spend some time in day care by age 4. And nearly 11 million children under age 5 in the United States are in some type of child care arrangement every week. However, prior to choosing childcare, do some research. Figure out the credentials of a childcare facility and its employees, the employees’ level of training, the child to adult ration, etc. And never send your child to a facility without first visiting it.

If you are looking into options for daycare, you might look into childcare in the workplace, also known as employer sponsored childcare. Employers usually subsidize the cost of the corporate childcare facility, helping parents to pay for the daycare services. And interestingly, providing employee sponsored daycare or childcare in the workplace or for employees can be a wise choice on the part of employers. Providing onsite childcare for employees results in increased retention, higher productivity and reduced absenteeism.
