Access to affordable, high-quality child care continues to be a challenge for working families across Michigan. The lack of affordable child care can force at least one parent to choose between working and not working. The MI Tri-Share program is a unique cost-sharing approach for child care that splits the cost among employees, their employers, and the State of Michigan. The program is designed to benefit families by reducing the cost of child care, benefit employers by aiding in employee retention and recruitment, and benefit child care providers by increasing their financial stability.
