Your people deserve a serious child-care benefit, too.
The kind of support once reserved for giant companies can now work for a restaurant, shop, studio, clinic, or 12-person professional firm.
You should not need a benefits department, a national provider contract, or a six-figure budget to help a great employee keep working.
Start at the size that fits
A small business sets one annual budget and one clear rule. Employees can choose from Care Assembly's licensed provider network or nominate care they already use. We coordinate the rest.
The $8,000 example
A bodega owner decides to put $8,000 toward licensed care for two cashiers. In an illustrative New York planning case, roughly $5,600 comes back through the combined credit stack. The net cost is about $2,400. The employees receive all $8,000 of help.
Your part is deliberately small
You decide
- The annual contribution budget
- Who is eligible under a simple, broadly available rule
- Which business advisor reviews the tax work
- Whether to renew or change the program
Care Assembly coordinates
- Care search, matching, and existing-provider nominations
- Provider verification and standard documents
- Payment schedules, family support, notices, and records
- The annual package for your CPA
Built for real operating constraints
No benefits jargon. No requirement to become a child-care expert. No assumption that every worker has the same schedule, family structure, or provider. The program can begin with one or two families and grow only if it earns its place in the budget.
The illustration is not a promised tax result. Your CPA or tax counsel determines eligibility, usable credits, and filing.
