ICAN tackles child care, a 'defining workforce challenge'
The Utica-based nonprofit ICAN plans to open a child care center in Rome sometime this year as part of its new ICAN Child Care initiative to address a child care shortage in the Mohawk Valley. That shortage, ICAN officials say, is a hurdle for working parents, but also a significant regional workforce challenge. It can lower household incomes, lower employee retention rates and squelch economic development attempts to attract new businesses to the area, ICAN officials said, citing regional workforce and economic development reports. "Child care has become one of the defining workforce challenges of our time," ICAN President/CEO Steve Bulger said in a statement. "Families cannot succeed, businesses cannot grow and communities cannot reach their full potential when parents lack access to quality care for their children.” ICAN itself, which employs a staff of about 600 with more than 350 full-time employees, has first-hand experience with the child care shortage, which comes up on staff surveys. About the center The new center, under construction on Daedalian Drive in Rome, will have 64 slots for children from infancy through pre-K. But parents whose employers have employer membership agreements with ICAN will receive priority access to those slots. Any remaining slots
