Care Connect-Reserve: Infant Care Enrollment Reservation System & Regulation Station
Membership platform featuring the Care Connect-Reserve: Infant Care Reservation System for Employers and Self-Employed & the Regulation Station app for new and established childcare providers
Wisconsin has an average 2-year waitlist for infant care due to a 1:4 staff to infant ratio, childcare businesses closing due to staff shortages because of low wages and no benefits resulting in parents, mostly women, leaving the workforce.[1] Care Connect-Reserve offers an infant care reservation system as a new revenue stream for providers and an attraction/retention tool for employers and self-employed. It also features the Regulation Station portal for new and established childcare providers.
