Three workforce costs childcare quietly drives
Cost #1
Absenteeism
Working parents miss an average of 13 days per year due to childcare gaps — a direct hit to productivity.
Cost #2
Turnover
Backfilling a lost employee costs up to 4× their annual salary. Childcare is one of the top reasons working parents leave.
Cost #3
Recruiting friction
65% of married couples are dual-income with children. Family-friendly benefits move the needle on offer acceptance.
The solution
A real partnership
Not a discount code — a structured arrangement with measurable benefits for your team and reporting that proves it.
Ohio's new 40/40/20 cost-share
Save your team up to 60% on tuition with the Child Care Cred Program.
Ohio's new Child Care Cred Program splits tuition costs three ways: 40% employee, 40% employer, 20% state. First-come, first-served annual funding — we help you enroll.
How the split works
For each enrolled employee's child, the cost of care is divided three ways. After stacking the federal employer-provided childcare tax credit (up to 25%), an employer's true net contribution typically lands between 25–35% of gross tuition.
Who qualifies
Households with annual income up to 400% of Federal Poverty Level — approximately $106,600/year for a family of three. This covers the middle-income workforce most NE Ohio employers want to retain.

What HR teams ask us first
What's the minimum company size?
There isn't one. Meaningful partnerships work at 10-employee companies — the right tier depends on workforce composition, not headcount.
You just launched this program — what does that mean for us?
It means founding-partner treatment. Our first partners get a direct line to AAC leadership, priority on slot allocation, and a hand in shaping how the program develops as we grow.
What tax benefits are available?
The federal employer-provided childcare tax credit covers up to 25% of costs (up to $150,000/year). Stacked with Ohio Cred, your effective net cost typically drops below 25% of gross tuition.
How do you handle utilization reporting?
Monthly reports to your HR team on the 5th business day of each month. Enrolled employees, tuition contribution, and (for Tier 3) backup-care utilization with a full audit trail.
