MI Tri-Share Childcare Webinar
The Tri-Share program’s purpose is to improve the affordability, accessibility, and quality of childcare through a model in which the state, the employer and the employee share equal responsibility for childcare services by each contributing one-third of the total cost. It is believed that offering this benefit to employees will improve the ability of employers to attract and retain talent, thereby fueling economic impact and growth. Learn more about MI Tri-Share Childcare at Maresa.org.
