Kentucky Child Care and Workforce Successes Highlighted at National Summit

The US Chamber of Commerce and the US Department of Commerce Foundation hosted the first-ever National Child Care Innovation Summit last week in Washington, DC, to discuss how governments and businesses can work together to solve the nation's child-care challenges.

The summit featured a panel discussion on "public-private partnerships in which the business community and government partners work together to solve child care challenges," according to a press release from the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, which has been working on such a program in Kentucky since 2022.

Kentucky's Employee Child Care Assistance Partnership (ECCAP), created by House Bill 499 in Kentucky's 2022 legislative session, allows the Cabinet for Health and Family Services to match financial support from employers to help employees with child care costs.

"Throughout the country, something we are seeing are states and individual communities stepping up and putting innovative solutions on the table, in which employers, non-profit actors, and government actors are all working together to solve big problems," Charles Aull, the Kentucky Chamber's Executive Director of the Kentucky Chamber Center for Policy and Research, says in the press release.

"This is something I've seen first-hand."
