Childcare: The Key to a Strong Workforce

Childcare isn’t just a family issue—it’s a workforce and economic issue.

Join us for our November Breakfast Connect as we explore the current childcare landscape in North Idaho and the important role it plays in building and maintaining a strong workforce.

Access to affordable, reliable childcare directly impacts whether parents can enter the workforce, remain employed, pursue education and training, and show up consistently for work. For businesses, those challenges can translate into difficulties with recruitment, retention, absenteeism, productivity, and overall workforce participation.

This timely conversation will explore the challenges facing working families and childcare providers, what’s happening locally to strengthen North Idaho’s childcare system, and why sustainable childcare is essential to the health of our regional workforce and economy.

We’ll also look at how employers, community organizations, childcare providers, and other local partners can be part of the solution.

When families have access to reliable, quality childcare, parents can work, businesses can build stronger teams, and our entire community benefits.
