The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation partnered with the business communities in Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Missouri, and Texas, and their early education partners, to understand just how much breakdowns in childcare cost each state. In this study we looked at the causes of childcare challenges as well as motivations behind why parents select various childcare providers. Knowing many employers want to facilitate more access to childcare but do not know where to begin, we sought to learn what types of childcare benefits working parents desire most from employers.
