Employer Child Care Continues Slow, but Steady Growth: Fifteenth Annual Status Report on Employer Child Care
Neugebauer, Roger
Exchange: The Early Childhood Leaders' Magazine Since 1978, n170 p20-21 Jul-Aug 2006
In the 1990s, employer child care operated by management organizations was consistently increasing at a rate of over 10% per year. However, since 2001, the growth rate has remained in the 4-6% range. In this article, the author presents differing views on the current trends and future prospects on employer child care. Ty Durekas, from Children's Creative Learning Centers, says that employers are investing in near-site centers at a larger pace than in on-site programs, because of the perceived liability of operating programs by themselves and additional flexibility they can receive for their employees. Gary Graves, from La Petite Academy, says that employers are continuing to look at tuition subsidy programs over on-site centers, because all of their associates with young children can benefit from tuition subsidy programs.
