Children bring people together, especially co-workers. Everyone coos over the latest pictures. Everyone celebrates those important milestones. Everyone loves talking about their kids.
 
Quality child care is a concern for every working parent. If there are new or expecting parents at your workplace, you can bet child care is on their minds every day. 
 
Show them you care by telling your employees and co-workers about Child Care Resource and Referral. This free service from United Way of Escambia County's First Call  For Help, contracted via the Early Learning Coalition of Escambia County, helps parents:   
  • Understand the different types of child care available
  • Access resources such as inspection reports and complaints
  • Know what questions to ask during site visits at child care centers
Based upon the individual needs of each family, First Call For Help's Child Care Resource and Referral will provide a system-generated comprehensive referral listing of child care providers at all levels of care.

Spread the Word!
United Way @ Work is designed to provide helpful, timely information to area workplaces about services provided by local nonprofit programs, so that HR directors, managers and supervisors can distribute this information around the workplace.
 
If you find this information helpful or think it would benefit your employees, take a look at the attached resources. You may want to post them in office break rooms, insert into paycheck envelopes, use the information in an employee newsletter, or e-mail to all employees.

Working together, we can improve lives and create a healthier Escambia County!
