Fremont Family Coalition is accepting applications for a retention bonus for childcare workers in Dodge County.
The retention bonus will provide support for the most essential of workers. Fremont Family Coalition recognizes the need for quality early childcare and education. Many childcare providers have, at great personal and professional cost, managed to keep their doors open during the pandemic to support children and families in the community.
“Showing appreciation to those who care for the smallest ones in our community is not only a no-brainer in my opinion but opens the door for better employee retention, better communication and a workforce that feels valued, respected and wanted,” said Genna Faulkner, Early Childhood Community Coordinator for Fremont Family Coalition. “Childcare providers are some of the most important workers in our economy. Without them, parents can’t go to work, and business would come to a grinding halt. Let’s say thank you to those providers in a tangible way and remind our community of the great asset we have here in Dodge County.”
Supporting the employees through a bonus is just a small way to say thank you. The application will be mailed to all licensed childcare providers in Dodge County. An electronic version can be requested by emailing genna@fremontunitedway.org. The application is available in English and Spanish.
Completed applications can be emailed to genna@fremontunitedway.org or mailed/dropped off ATTN: Genna Faulkner at 445 E. 1st, Fremont, NE 68025. Applications will be accepted until April 11 or until the funds are depleted. Bonuses are available up to $300 depending on full or part-time designation, continuous employment at the same childcare center for the last three months and successful completion of the application.
