Priority Waitlist
To help ensure your employees have care close to work, you can arrange priority access for their children at designated Early Learning Works centers.

Similar to offering a credit for gym memberships or health care expenses, you can help employees pay for care with a tuition credit. This lets them choose from a broader geographic footprint of high-quality child care programs and before/after school services.
Employer-Reserved Seats
Reserve seats at select child care programs specifically for your employees’ use.
