The childcare benefit that fits your workforce and your budget.
Affordable Childcare Is Possible.
And It Pays Off.
​​​​​
Lack of affordable childcare is creating chaos for working parents and hurting the bottom line.​
​
One employer found an employee working with her infant in the back seat of the running car because she had nowhere safe to leave him and was afraid to lose her job.
​
​Make sure your working parents no longer have to make tough choices between work and caring for their children.
​
Drive to the office in the morning knowing you provide stability and peace of mind for your employees so they'll be at their best and ready to achieve your goals when you get there.
oneCOMMUNITY makes childcare affordable and easy with the Shared Cost Childcare™ Benefit.
-
Employers and employees share the cost of care, like other benefits.
-
Employers determine the cost share and their maximum investment in a benefit.
-
Employees pay the remaining cost of care at a life-changing discount to market rates.
-
No cost to employers or employees until children receive care.

Is the childcare crisis really that bad?
A traditional business model doesn't work in childcare. Families cannot afford the actual cost of childcare services and providers cannot afford to pay childcare workers competitive wages or benefits.
