The Impact

Child Care Associates know firsthand the positive impact that employee healthcare benefits can bring to the stability for a household with young children. Child Care Associates offers its employees a menu of healthcare benefits that extend to their dependents. At incredibly competitive rates, employees who are working parents have peace of mind that their dependents are supported with healthcare offerings. Child Care Associates also offers lower premium rates to employees who complete a minimum of three (3) wellness initiatives throughout the year. The wellness initiatives can consist of completing a biometric screening, getting a flu-shot or participating in an outside activity (i.e. gym membership, walking club or weight management class). The impact on these wellness initiatives allows for a more productive work environment and it improves employee morale.

“Child Care Associates is one of the largest child development agencies providing child care and early education in Texas. However, in trying to live out our values, we realized that we needed to have more family-friendly policies including health care options for whole families and paid parental leave upon the birth or adoption of a child. Providing family-centered solutions goes hand-in-hand with our mission but it also has proved to be a good HR decision.”
