Did you know that child care challenges cost Missouri businesses a staggering $951 million annually in lost productivity and turnover? It’s a massive headache for parents and employers alike.

But we’ve got some seriously good news. The Jefferson City Area Chamber of Commerce is hosting a FREE, 45-minute webinar THIS week to show you how a new program called Child Care Works is changing the game.

Even better? Our region is one of only five statewide approved for this initiative!

The Ultimate Win-Win
Through this program, you can match your employer contributions with state funds to slash your employees' child care costs by nearly two-thirds. Whether you employ 5 people or 500, this is your secret weapon to:

🚀 Recruit top talent in a competitive market.
👋 Keep your best employees from jumping ship.
📉 Majorly reduce absenteeism.
💼 Do it all with minimal paperwork and hassle.

The Details
When: Thursday, June 4 at 10:00 AM
Where: Your couch, desk, or kitchen counter (It’s 100% virtual!)
Duration: Just 45 minutes (promise!)
