Affordable childcare solutions are now possible beyond HQ. With Patch, you can support your workers who need it most, no matter where they are.
Even the most well-intentioned of employers have been discouraged by the complexities of offering childcare support - the lengthy timelines, astronomical costs, and inflexible designs of current options can make it feel impossible to find a solution that makes sense for your business.
That’s where we come in! Patch was designed from the very beginning to meet the nuanced needs of hourly and shift-based employers. We are specialists in thinking through the details so you don’t have to - from variable schedules, daycare-desert locations and budget-constrained parents, our solutions fit the complexities of your business at a price and speed that can scale.
Our model offers affordability, scalability, and impact that other solutions cannot match.
Why it works
Patch is…
Lightweight: Launching a Patch program is simple, speedy and cost-effective
Data-driven: We deliver measurable results to employers, reducing absenteeism and turnover
Flexible: Families are not one-size-fits-all so we meet them where they are and adapt programming to fit their needs
Tech-enabled: At every step, our offering is easy to use and convenient for both parents and employers

PROFILE OF OUR EMPLOYER PARTNERS
large deskless workforce
Our employer partners span industries - from manufacturing, to logistics, to healthcare, e-commerce and hospitality. Regardless of their sector, they all share a reliance on a large, in-person workforce which means parents are expected to show up and find reliable care for their children every day.
untraditional hours
Our partners are hard at work around the clock. With shifts during early morning or late nights, dynamic start times, and peak season schedule changes, business operating hours can make it difficult for employee parents to find care during work.
searching for absenteeism & attrition tools
Our partners are facing unprecedented talent challenges. As the Great Resignation continues to force wage wars and talent competition, our partners are eager to find tools to effectively combat absenteeism & attrition.
committed to supporting employees
Most importantly, our partners are innovators who are open and excited to support their employees in new ways. Many have supported their HQ workforce with childcare benefits and are eager to bring solutions to their employees in the field or the factory.
“We have always known childcare is a problem for employees, but there’s never been a way to fix it. Until Patch. Our workers love it, our supervisors love it, and it is reinforcing the family-friendly culture we want for our workplace.”
— Cheryl Y., HR manager, distribution center
