Built on Oregon’s existing toolkit

The Oregon Employer’s Child Care Toolkit provides the foundation. This hub helps regional partners put it to work through outreach, facilitation, implementation tools, and measurable local action.

The existing toolkit was developed by Child Care Works for Oregon with Oregon partners, including Onward Eugene.

How it works

A repeatable path for regional partners to build employer engagement and expand child care access.

  1. Assess the regional landscape

    Map existing efforts, the employer mix, and child care capacity before anything new is built.

  2. Engage employers

    Recruit business leaders with outreach sequences, listening sessions, and the business case.

  3. Plan the first action

    Choose an achievable first project and align partners around Oregon’s existing guidance.

  4. Launch and measure

    Put the plan into action and count employer participation and actions by region.
