EPIC: A New Resource for Arizona Employers

Access to quality child care is one of the biggest challenges facing working families—and it’s a growing concern for Arizona businesses trying to recruit and retain talent. A new partnership brings national expertise to Arizona, helping employers find practical and effective child care solutions.

Executives Partnering to Invest in Children (EPIC) is now working in Arizona, offering unbiased, expert support to employers who want to explore and implement child care strategies that meet the needs of their workforce and community.

Why This Matters for Arizona

Businesses across Arizona are already sounding the alarm. A lack of child care is hurting productivity, increasing turnover and limiting workforce participation. EPIC is here to help turn that challenge into an opportunity for employer-based child care solutions.

With support from First Things First, the Arizona Chamber of Commerce & Industry and other community partners, EPIC brings years of national experience to Arizona. Over the past five years, they’ve helped 40+ employers improve access to child care for more than 110,000 employees.

Employer-based Child Care Solutions for Arizona

EPIC is a neutral advisor—they don’t profit from any solution you choose. Their only goal is to help Arizona employers and families thrive. Arizona employers now have access to:

  • Employer-Based Child Care Feasibility & Assessment Guide – customized for Arizona
  • Child Care Needs Assessment Survey – ready to use with your employees
  • Facilitated planning and design sessions with EPIC experts
  • On-the-ground engagement to understand your local workforce and community needs
