More Book Details

Description of the Book:

This book for employers interested in establishing child care programs is organized into five major topic areas. Part One provides an overview of employer-supported child care. Part Two discusses the processes of identifying and estimating benefits of child care to companies, and tax considerations. Part Three presents practical guidelines and a systematic model for deciding whether and how to become involved in child care. Several strategies for collecting information are described. Part Four discusses the many ways in which companies can support child care. These include flexible personnel policies, information and referral programs, educational programs for parents, reimbursement programs, support of existing programs, flexible benefit plans, day care centers, family day care programs, direct services for school-age children, and child care for sick children. Factors relevant to the selection and setting up of an option are considered. Variations in program sponsorship are also examined. Part Five contains a brief summary, discusses the impact of employer-supported child care on society, and presents creative systems for planning and delivering child care supports.

Appendices provide additional technical information and sample materials from the National Employer Supported Child Care Project Study. (RH
