Business and Child Care Connector Program/Business Navigator

The Business and Child Care Connector Program (BCCCP) will leverage community and economic development initiatives across all 10 Regional Economic Development Council (REDC) regions to increase awareness of the strategies and actionable steps for business leaders, owners and human resources teams to develop effective child care strategies that meet the needs of employees seeking affordable and reliable child care options. The Early Care and Learning Council (ECLC) will offer technical support to the Child Care Resource and Referral (CCR&R) network and collaborate closely with them to train a dedicated business specialist within each CCR&R. These specialists will provide direct assistance to employers in implementing the child care solutions detailed in the Business Navigator Toolkit (toolkit) that was issued for businesses in the 24-25 FY.
