Does your employer offer some form of child care assistance?
If so, please post examples of the assistance.
is it on site care? if so, how does it work and if outside what's percent do you get off?
At my agency which is non profit. We are trying to come up with ideas and present them to the CEO and HR Dept. about having day care on site or outside. Something to retain valuable employees and as incentive for new ones.

if your child care doesn't show that day, you can eitehr get the firm to assist you in getting someone or you bring the child to someone.
Something like that. It's part of work/life balance in my firm. I have never used it so I don't know for sure.

My company assists with a discount of 25%. You can go to any daycare and get the same discount. The daycare comes right out of your paycheck each week and it is 52 weeks so you pay even if your child is not there.

Re: Does your employer offer some form of child care assistance?
I live out the country...but my employer takes part in a Childcare Voucher Scheme, my husband and I each get £243 monthly for childcare and thats before tax, so together we save about £100 a month on chidlcare.
My friend works for a HUGE company and they have a scheme to get you back to work after having a baby, if you take your maternity leave (up to a year as the law says) you get one years FREE childcare for coming back to work. Now thats an incentive to go back to work!!!

My job offers a flex spending account to put in child care money pre-taxes. That's it!

DH's job offers the same thing, and my job offers nothing.

Re: Does your employer offer some form of child care assistance?
we have a really good day care program at stony brook u.... (paid on a scale, according to family income)... but it's obviously a HUGE # employees, so the organization can afford it....
It covers infants until kindergarten, I believe, and may even include afterschool events.... not sure....

I work for the state as well and we have access to state child care centers. But over a certain income, really not much savings there.

I don't think stony brook's is that great. The sliding fee really only helps out students (undergrad and grad students with children use the center in addition to employees) who show as having no income--any family with over $35,000 family income is not subsidized at all and it costs $1200 per month per child. Plus there is a waiting list for infants to get in. And the center was listed as having been reported for breaking rules for childcare in the past year (on that site someone posted a while back). Something about hitting or physically punishing children.
