The Business Case for Child Care Benefits
$172B

69%
Employees are less likely to job-search
Employees with reliable child care are 69% less likely to seek new employment. Turning a soft "morale" benefit into a measurable retention lever.

Up to 70%
Combined federal + Illinois tax credits
The OBBBA-expanded Section 45F credit now covers 40% of qualified child care expenses (50% for eligible small businesses), up to $500K annually. Stack that with Illinois's SB 3785 employer credit and Illinois employers can offset up to 70% of program costs combined.

Governance-Rooted Guidance
Built on Real Board and Policy Experience
I bring a background in operations, governance, and financial oversight, including service as Board President of a child development center and as an appointed member of a governor-led child care task force, to every engagement. I take the time to understand your organization's specific challenges and tailor recommendations to what actually fits, rather than a one-size-fits-all package.
Yours,
