When regular childcare falls through, your employees shouldn't have to choose between work and their kids. Agape deploys a vetted professional to their home — same day.
When an employee's daycare closes unexpectedly, a nanny calls out, or school is cancelled — that employee often has only one choice: stay home. That's a lost day of productivity for them and for you.
Multiply that across your workforce over a year, and the cost in absenteeism, distraction, and talent retention is significant. Yet most companies don't offer a single childcare benefit beyond health insurance.
Agape Corporate Backup Care changes that — with a simple, affordable employee benefit that shows up exactly when it matters most.
Employees with backup care come to work. It's that simple.
Working parents stay longer at companies that support them.
Section 45F federal credit covers up to 50% of your expenses.
The research on employer-supported childcare is overwhelming — and it all points the same direction.
Retaining just 1% of eligible employees covers the entire cost of offering the benefit.
When backup care is needed, the process is fast, simple, and completely handled by Agape.
Regular childcare falls through — daycare closes, nanny cancels, school is out. Employee contacts Agape through your company's designated line.
Agape dispatches a vetted, background-checked childcare professional to the employee's home. Same day. No scrambling on the employee's end.
With their children covered by a professional they can trust, your employee comes to work — present, focused, and not distracted by worry.
A monthly access fee based on company size keeps the benefit active, plus a simple per-activation care rate when employees actually use it. Your exact plan is quoted to your company's size and needs.
Two simple parts, built around your team:
Schedule a consultation for a custom quote based on your team's size and needs.
The federal Section 45F credit covers up to 50% of eligible childcare expenses for small businesses — worth up to $600,000 per year. Texas employers can stack it with the Texas HB 1709 credit, covering 50% of employer contributions up to $1 million per year.
Together, these credits can cut your net cost of offering childcare in half or more. Ask your tax advisor — or bring it up when we talk.
