A child-care benefit people can actually use
Employers help pay for child care. Their net cost stays low.
Care Assembly connects employees with excellent licensed care and runs the benefit behind it. Families can choose from our provider network or keep a provider they already trust.
Employer-funded tuition support
Provider network + bring your own care
Low net employer cost
One benefit, two paths to care
Find a great provider. Or keep the one you already love.
Care Assembly is a care directory and matching platform, plus the operating system for the employer benefit. Family choice drives both sides.
Bring your own care
Continuity when you already have it.
Already love your daycare, preschool, or licensed home-based program? Name it. We invite the provider to participate and handle the employer-facing work if it is willing and eligible.
Why the employer cost stays low
A little-noticed tax change can pay back much of the cost.
Since January 2026, eligible employers can receive a federal credit equal to 40% of qualified child-care spending, or 50% for eligible small businesses. New York adds a state credit on top.
When the Trump administration is cutting child-care support, this change offers a practical lifeline to millions of working families. It is not a substitute for universal public child care. It is a way for a neighborhood business, a 50-person law firm, or a national employer to help now without carrying the full sticker price.
Illustrative New York planning cases use roughly 70% back, sometimes more. The employer's own CPA or tax counsel determines the actual result.

A concrete example
$8,000 of child-care help can cost a small employer about $2,400.
Picture a bodega owner putting $8,000 toward licensed care for two cashiers. In an illustrative New York planning case, about $5,600 comes back through the federal and state credit layers. The employees receive the full $8,000.
This is an illustration, not a promised tax result. The company's own advisor determines the actual credit, usability, and filing.
