Why Partner?
Early Childhood Is Workforce Infrastructure
Early Years offers partnership opportunities for corporations to invest in quality early learning care and education programs.
A reliable early care and education system is essential to a strong workforce. When child care is unstable or unavailable, employees miss work, reduce hours, or leave jobs altogether — costing businesses productivity, retention and growth.
Early Years strengthens the systems that make child care work — for families, educators and employers across North Carolina.
Why Corporate Investment Matters
- Strengthens workforce participation and reliability
- Supports working families and employee well-being
- Builds long-term talent pipelines
- Reinforces local and statewide economic competitiveness
- Reduces absenteeism and unplanned turnover tied to child care disruptions
Reliable Care = Reliable Employees
As the state’s long-standing early childhood systems leader, Early Years stabilizes the child care workforce through integrated strategies that support educator education, compensation, and retention.
We also provide the data, coordination and policy leadership needed to ensure child care remains viable and accessible statewide.
