UC3 was quoted in this Deseret News article regarding the struggle to find accessible, affordable child care that works for their schedules.
One family highlighted in the article is lucky to have employers that allow them to leave work to shuttle their child from school to a child care center until the end of their work day.
“Each weekday, Conard leaves work midafternoon to pick up his daughter from kindergarten. Afterward, he drives an additional 15 minutes to drop her off at day care with her 1-year-old brother, before making the trip back to work. He said the drive adds between 45 minutes to an hour each day.
“Thus, we are having to leave work every day to pick up our daughter and take her to day care for the remaining 1 1/2 hours of the work day,” he said.”
UC3 exists to help employers be more supportive of their working parents, whether that is offering more flexible schedules, remote work options, or helping secure and afford nearby child care.
