WORKSHOP
THE CHILD CARE CONUNDRUM: HOW BUSINESS CAN RETAIN EMPLOYEES TODAY AND BUILD TOMORROW’S WORKFORCE
WHEN: Wednesday, May 11, 8 – 9:30 a.m.
WHERE: Keene State College Alumni Center/Norma Walker Hall, 229 Main St., Keene (virtual option available)
WHAT: Access to quality, affordable child care is essential for working families. It provides peace of mind that their children are in a safe, learning, caring environment and the ability to focus on their jobs and careers. In today’s strained labor market, accessible child care is even more important in helping parents and caregivers reenter the workforce post-Covid. Child care options can also attract new families to the region to fill open positions. But our region lacks open child care spaces for a variety of reasons large and small. Join a panel of child care professionals, employers and funders to discuss the issues surrounding The Child Care Conundrum and how the business community can help overcome this issue. Speakers include Liz Larose, president, Monadnock United Way; Suelaine Poling, executive director, Keene Day Care Center; Annie Dintino, program manager, Impact Monadnock; and a member of the Community Development Finance Authority.
