Tennessee Business Child Care Survey

TQEE is conducting this first-of-its-kind survey of Tennessee businesses. In under 5 minutes, you'll help shape The Child Care Advantage — a landmark report going directly to the policymakers, employers, and economic development leaders deciding Tennessee's workforce future.

Why this matters?

Child care is costing Tennessee employers $497 million a year in turnover, absenteeism, and lost productivity — hitting business bottom lines directly.

In response, a growing number of Tennessee businesses are making strategic child care investments with real, measurable returns: reducing turnover, attracting talent, and boosting productivity in ways that show up fast. This report will document what’s working.
Whether you're already supporting employees with child care, actively exploring options, or haven't addressed it yet — your perspective will shape what solutions get built, funded, and enacted across our state.
