Employers Can Help

Supply & Affordability
The availability and affordability of child care remain a top struggle for parents. For many, to obtain or retain a job relies on child care.
The price of child care in Idaho is high. A recent state agency child care survey found the annual price of center-based child care for an infant ranges from $6,600 in Challis (Custer County) to $11,517 in Boise (Ada County).
Employers Can Help
There are many options available for employers to consider to better support the child care needs of working parents. Employers can begin with a survey of employees to better understand their greatest challenges. Review the Child Care Employer Roadmap by the U.S. Chamber Foundation.
