How Your Business Can Make a Difference
Business "Wish Lists" Eligible for Tax Credit
Businesses can make a direct impact by supporting the educational needs of local children and early childhood educators. We’ve created a space to house educators' wish lists, where businesses can provide essential materials and resources that are eligible for tax credits. Whether it's books, classroom supplies, or technology, your contribution can help make a difference—and reduce your tax burden at the same time.
The Economic Impact of Quality Childcare
Investing in early childhood education is not just good for children—it’s good for the economy. Quality childcare has been shown to improve workforce productivity, reduce absenteeism, and create a more skilled future workforce. When children have access to early learning opportunities, families are empowered to enter and remain in the workforce, while businesses benefit from a more educated and prepared workforce. By supporting early childhood initiatives, businesses are investing in the long-term health and prosperity of our community.
Highlighting Early Childhood Business Advocates
At Buffalo County Early Steps, we are proud to highlight local businesses that champion early childhood education. Each month, we feature an Early Childhood Business Advocate, showcasing the incredible contributions of businesses that prioritize children’s growth and educational success. These businesses set an example of community leadership, demonstrating how corporate social responsibility can support the future of our children and workforce.
