  • Reten prequalifies employees for public child care support programs and helps guide them through the application process

  • Reten multiplies monthly employer contribution to maximize impact by leveraging available government funding

How does it work?

The power of investment

Jane is a single mom with two kids who lives in Denver. She has two kids, ages 2 and 4.

  • Jane’s employer contributes a child care stipend of $100 per month per child

  • Reten helps Jane find care for her kids, keep track of application deadlines, and remind her about required documents.

  • Once Jane completes her online onboarding with Reten, we prequalify her for local government programs that multiply her employer’s contribution

  • Jane sees both of these contributions reduce her child care bill, making full-time care much more affordable.
