Investments in Caring PA provides Pennsylvania businesses with an array of tools to learn the what, why, & how of many different child care solutions. Child Care has long been a one-size fits all solution, with financial underinvestment that has largely been limited to for first-shift, center-based child care; however, if the pandemic taught Americans and specifically Pennsylvanians anything, it was that innovation is needed, with more child care options for families.
If your business is one of the many PA businesses that requires a stable workforce during nontraditional work times (2nd/3rd/weekend shifts), you well know the unique challenges of hiring & retaining reliable staff to meet your business needs. Historically, there have been very few child care options for shift workers, which greatly affects your ability to have a stable workforce. Nationally, only 8% of child care providers are open after 7pm or on the weekends; however, even if there were more providers, shift working parents want care to come to them, delivered in their own homes, so their children have the stability they need to thrive.
