San Diego Regional Center Partners With TOOTRiS to Offer Comprehensive Child Care Solutions to Employees

[ad_2]

SAN DIEGO, June 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The San Diego Regional Center (SDRC), a leader in the community for persons with developmental disabilities, has partnered with TOOTRiS to provide real-time Child Care services to its employees. With this partnership, SDRC’s staff of more than 600 will have access to thousands of local Child Care providers through the TOOTRiS’ platform, removing barriers that prevent working parents from remaining in the workforce and advancing their family-friendly work environment.

As a first-of-its-kind SaaS platform, TOOTRiS connects parents, Child Care providers, employers, and subsidy programs all in real time. One of TOOTRiS’ goals is to create sustainable, systematic change for greater equality. Child Care challenges cause one in four women to leave the workforce and costs employers millions of dollars each year in turnover, lost productivity, and absenteeism. Over the last year, nearly 3 million women dropped out of the workforce across America, many due to the lack of Child Care. With a staff of more than 65% women, SDRC recognizes that Child Care support is key for long-term success, and its partnership with TOOTRiS is a win-win solution for the organization and the community.

“Through this partnership with TOOTRiS, our employees now have access to the only real-time Child Care benefits solutions available, ensuring our employees have access to quality Child Care so they can thrive at our organization,” said Carlos Flores, San Diego Regional Center Executive Director. “By providing an affordable Child Care service and increasing Child Care availability and visibility for families, TOOTRiS creates a level playing field so that all working parents, regardless of economic status, location, or schedule, have a chance to pursue professional growth.”

“When employees are provided access to Child Care benefits, they are not forced to choose between a paycheck and their child,” said Alessandra Lezama, CEO of TOOTRiS. “Families in San Diego with two working parents spend up to 40% of their income on Child Care. That is excessively high. The San Diego Regional Center has always been a forward-thinking nonprofit, dedicated to providing the best services for our community. By offering Child Care as part of its existing employee wellness program, the organization will significantly improve productivity, career advancements, and employee retention, allowing SDRC to continue its amazing work.”
