Women's Foundation of Arkansas
The Arkansas Working Families Solutions Portfolio
The Arkansas Working Families Solutions Portfolio will expand access to childcare resources by connecting employers, employees, and providers through coordinated outreach, tools, and convenings.
The Women's Foundation of Arkansas (WFA), in partnership with Excel by Eight (E8) and the Arkansas Early Childhood Association (AECA), will launch Arkansas's first Working Families Solutions Portfolio. This data-driven initiative combines a robust online platform featuring an employer self-assessment focused on childcare accessibility, expansion of E8's consultation with businesses to implement child care solutions for their employees, and increased access for early childhood educators to the Arkansas Teacher Retirement System (ATRS).
