Child Connect

Employer Child Care Subsidy Program 

Support Your Employees, Even as a Small Business 

Child care is one of the biggest barriers to workforce participation in Montana. Through the Child Connect initiative, Greater Gallatin United Way offers an Employer Child Care Subsidy Program that helps businesses support employees with child care costs. 

Even small businesses can participate by contributing a subsidy amount that works for their budget, while Greater Gallatin United Way helps manage the program and connect employees with care. Businesses may also qualify for the Federal 45F Child Care Tax Credit.

Help Shape the Future of Child Care 

Take the Community Child Care Survey

Greater Gallatin United Way and the Big Sky Early Childhood Alliance have launched a community child care survey to hear from families, employers, child care providers, and community members who live or work in our region.

Your input will help identify child care challenges and inform real solutions to improve access and affordability for working families and local businesses. 

This effort is in partnership with the Northern Rocky Mountain Economic Development District and supported by the Big Sky Resort Area District and the Spanish Peaks Community Foundation. 

Child Connect + Kinside 

Find Child Care in One Place 

Greater Gallatin United Way recently launched Child Connect, a community initiative focused on improving access to child care for working families and employers. 

Through this effort, Kinside, a child care search platform, is now available and free to families and all licensed child care providers in Gallatin, Park, Madison, and Meagher counties.

Families can view all licensed providers in one place, search for available openings, compare programs, and connect directly with providers.
