In this crucial initial phase, you will establish a clear rationale for exploring child care solutions.

This phase includes detailed financial modeling, facility assessments, and strategic planning for partnerships and oversight, ensuring your approach is robust and sustainable.
EPIC supports you in developing service provider requirements and a thorough RFP and evaluation process, grounded in informed decisions. You will be set up for seamless solution implementation, with a smooth handoff to solution owners. EPIC will equip you to manage external engagements effectively and position your organization as a community advocate for a stronger early childhood ecosystem.
CREATE POSITIVE CHANGE
The crippling shortage of early childhood education puts strain on working caregivers and employers alike. Under increasing burdens, the workforce experiences loss of productivity, greater absenteeism, and turnover.
4 out of 5 employers say child care benefits have a positive impact on recruitment, retention, and productivity. Drawing a more talented workforce makes companies more competitive in their industry.
On average 4-16 annual absences per working parent are avoided due to employer child care benefits. Additional reductions are also seen in late arrivals, early departures, and general engagement.
By retaining between 1% and 12% of employees eligible for child care benefits, employers cover the cost of providing those benefits.
