You don't have to be privy to governmental statistics to know that the demand for childcare is skyrocketing every year. If you're a parent, chances are you know first hand the struggles and stress associated with finding, retaining, and paying for adequate childcare. If you haven't had to procure childcare for your own children, you've surely been surrounded by friends and family who have. With the vast majority of two-parent families needing a dual income to make ends meet and the number of single parent families growing everyday, hired childcare is a pervasive reality for most American households.

 | In 2000, over 70% of married mothers with a child under the age of 6 were in the workforce. In 1970, only 30% were in the workforce. |
 | 8 out of 10 of these working mothers with children under the age of 6 use some form of employed childcare. |
 | In 1995, there were 21 million children under the age of 6. 12.9 million of these children were in some type of childcare. |
The need for childcare transcends all racial, sociologic, or economic divisions. With the continuing recession forcing more stay-at-home moms reluctantly back into the workforce and rising divorce rates creating even more single parents households, hired childcare is fast becoming the rule rather than the exception in today's culture.

 | In 1977, 66% of households had both parents working. In 1997, it risen to 78%. |
 | Depending upon which study you read, America's marriages end in divorce somewhere between 50-60% of the time. This means that there are now twice as many single parent families than there are families with two parents. |

In addition, recent government legislation has provided a significant increase in childcare funding, enabling mothers previously dependent on public aid to join the growing workforce. CCC, with its singularly unique and affordable approach to caregiver referral and screening, has positioned itself to take full advantage of these converging trends. CCC is currently the only childcare referral network franchising its business model nationally.
