Tri-Share

One of the most significant barriers for people rejoining the workforce is the cost of quality child care. The Michigan Tri-Share program introduced by Governor Whitmer is to change that by bringing businesses, working parents, and educators together to create a brighter future for all.

Michigan Tri-Share, as the name implies, is an innovative/public-private partnership designed to share the cost of child care equally between employers, employees, and the State of Michigan, making child care more affordable and accessible for working parents.

This new program is coordinated regionally by the Tri-Share Facilitator Hub and administered by a staff skilled in working with businesses, nonprofits, and educational institutions to support collaborative child care programming.
