Ever faced challenges with finding accessible childcare in your community? Today's guest, Loryn Duke struggled to find childcare in a rural Colorado town and decided to take matters into her own hands. She and her colleagues persuaded their employer, Steamboat Ski Resorts, to open an employer-sponsored childcare center that has solved childcare struggles for their employees and alleviated some of the childcare problems in the community.
We journey through Loryn's challenging yet rewarding endeavor of convincing her employer to provide this benefit for their employees. Loryn highlights how employer-based childcare centers can be a game-changer, particularly in rural areas where childcare options are scarce. We dive into the unique challenges and rewards of operating an employee-sponsored childcare center and discuss how they can boost employee recruitment and retention.
We also touch upon the broader implications of employer-sponsored childcare and the significance of investing in early childhood education to create a foundation for our future generation. Loryn and I invite you to join the conversation and share your experiences and thoughts about childcare accessibility and employer-sponsored childcare.
