Assumptions:

Full Service Child Care Center
It is important to note that many factors affect center demand including, but not limited to, average age, commute distance and patterns, work shifts, supply of care in the community, and tuition rates. The projected demand is based on Bright Horizons Consulting Practice's proprietary survey database.

Turnover - Investment impact studies conducted by employers sponsoring work-site centers have shown that access to high-quality reliable work-site child care dramatically increases employee retention rates. A child care center can help to reduce voluntary turnover by 50% of employees who otherwise would have left the organization.
Absenteeism Savings - Savings assumes the center eliminates approximately 2.5 days of absenteeism per center user who would typically be absent due to breakdowns in their child care arrangements (e.g., nanny sick, provider on vacation, center closed). This projection excludes days missed related to sick children.

Back-up Child Care
Projected Center Utilization- This is a preliminary projection of usage that may vary based on workforce demographics, and the scope of the back-up program offered.
Annual Absenteeism Savings - Assumes the back-up care program eliminates 75% of the absenteeism from care breakdowns and therefore increases the productivity of employees.
