The Biden administration is looking to use the CHIPS and Science Act as a workaround for affordable child care. Commerce Department mandates companies applying for more than $150M in CHIPS funding to provide affordable child care for workers.
Stephen Kramer, the CEO of Bright Horizons, the largest provider of employer-sponsored child care in this country. Bright Horizons operates 600 child care centers in the U.S., including for companies like Toyota and Tyson Foods.
"And I think this is also going to help more employers see just how connected they are to the need for child care," Kashen says. "Our ideal model is not necessarily employer-connected child care," says Kashen."It is to build out the system that everybody needs."A model that Kashen does like: In 1980, the glassmaker Corning opened a child care center in the community of Corning, New York. It's moved several times since, but the operational framework remains largely the same. The company provides the center with a substantial annual grant.
