Corporate child care is a specific form of child care sponsored or managed by an employer. It may be a perk or a part of the corporate social responsibility policy of the company. It can provide the working parents with an opportunity to find work-life balance. The corporations sponsor child care as it may increase employee loyalty, decrease maternity leaves and improve on-job concentration.

Scope
Companies have started corporate child care schemes for the young Generation Y employees, many of whom aspire to establish a work-life balance while pursuing a career and gaining money. Many working parents face challenges such as lack of free places in public pre-schools, inappropriate schedule, expensive services of private child care and preschools, low quality of services or little time spending with a child. The corporate child care programs intend to address these issues. Such a program may cover the following:
- The company provides new child care places for children
- Timetable is adjusted to parents working hours
- The company can cover all the expenses or share them with parents
- Better quality (due to recruitment system, ongoing education, teachers' development)
- More time to spend with children (during the transfer time)
