YMCA of San Diego County is not new to the intersection of workforce and child care.
In its over 40 years of service to the San Diego region as the County’s Child Care Resource and Referral, helping parents find the best child care solutions to fit their needs has been a significant piece of YMCA’s work with families. As conversations increase on how to better support working families, what’s becoming more and more apparent is that employers have a vital role to play.
“Across San Diego, too many working families are struggling to find and afford high-quality child care,” shared Kim McDougal, Executive Director with YMCA Childcare Resource Service.
The YMCA’s employer-supported child care solutions program aims to partner with employers and ensure they are nurturing the needs of working parents by supporting them with child care solutions.
“By providing employer-sponsored child care, employers can help families meet this critical need, transform company culture, and offer a competitive benefit that recruits and retains great staff for years to come,” adds Kim.
This program aligns with The San Diego Foundation’s Strategic Plan priority to build resilient communities, which includes increasing access to quality early care and education for all working families – an essential element to the health, development and future success of San Diego children and the regional economy.
