Child Care Backs My Biz Week 2025
Child Care Backs My Biz Week
Child care isn’t just a family issue—it’s a business issue
California runs on child care
The Case for Care
When families can access affordable, reliable care, they can work, earn, and contribute to their communities—fueling businesses across the state.
But right now, child care challenges are holding us back. Nearly 1 in 4 parents has left a job because they couldn’t find care. That’s lost talent, productivity, and growth.
When employees have dependable care, businesses see lower turnover, stronger retention, and higher productivity.
What Did Business Leaders Do?
From October 6 to 10, A Golden State For Kids partnered with businesses across Los Angeles County to highlight their support for child care.
