Ravalli Child Care Advantage (RCCA) offers businesses a unique opportunity to provide their employees with priority access to high-quality child care, helping your business improve employee satisfaction, retention, and productivity. RCCA is designed to meet the needs of local businesses, allowing you to support your team with a valuable family-forward benefit.
Why RCCA for Your Business?
Priority Child Care Enrollment:
Your employees will get faster access to participating child care facilities through RCCA’s Enrollment and Waitlist Portal.
Improved Retention and Productivity:
With reliable, quality child care in place, your employees will be more engaged, miss fewer workdays, and remain loyal to your company.
Affordable and Scalable:
Membership fees are tiered to accommodate businesses of all sizes, ensuring that all companies can afford to offer this critical benefit.
Montana faces significant challenges with child care shortages. Over 59% of counties are classified as child care deserts, where the supply meets less than a third of the demand. The lack of affordable, high-quality child care impacts Montana’s workforce, costing businesses nearly $55 million annually due to lower productivity, increased turnover, and recruitment challenges. This shortage limits workforce participation, particularly among parents, who struggle to find child care to support full-time employment. Not to mention what the lack of early childhood experiences does for kindergarten readiness, third grade scores, and ultimately our next generation of leaders.
