Employee Child Care Benefit Plans for a Sustainable Workforce
Washington Families Thrive provides tailored, employer-sponsored child care and backup care referrals — high-quality, vetted, and affordable. We partner with HR consultants, insurance brokers, and employers across Snohomish County to build family‑friendly workplaces.
Child care remains a major barrier for working families and employers: at any one time, 30% of providers in Snohomish County report open slots, yet families continue to struggle to find reliable, high‑quality care. WFT matches employees to vetted providers and backup options that reduce unplanned absences and support retention.
If your organization needs a benefits solution that sustains your workforce and gives employees peace of mind, Washington Families Thrive delivers a ready‑to‑implement child care benefit package absent from most employer plans.
Services
We offer low-lift affordable childcare benefits that will reduce absenteeism, attract and retain talent, increase productivity and staff morale.
We handle the hard work for your employees: vetting local child care providers for safety, quality, cost, and availability. After a quick intake to map each family’s needs, we deliver three vetted referrals with current openings. The result: faster placements, less stress for employees, and fewer disruptions to your operations.
When unexpected care emergencies arise, finding quality backup care fast is hard. We deliver 2–3 vetted backup care referrals with current openings within 24 hours, so employees feel less stressed and confident their family is safe and well cared for.
We strengthen the early‑learning sector to deliver better employer-based childcare referral services. WFT supports child care providers through employer referrals, the Pathways to Progress professional development series, a resource-rich child care newsletter, and targeted state and local advocacy.
