LEAP’s new Capital Area Child Care Coalition (CACCC) website helps both child care providers and employers better support all parents and caregivers with more high-quality child care options.

This resource hub offers business operation and career expansion services for child care providers to ensure their programs are running at full capacity, plus child care resources and information for employers. Businesses can experience decreased absenteeism, a larger and stronger talent pool, and better productivity outcomes when they support the child care needs of their employees.

#TeamMoonsail was proud to amplify this launch through direct mail collateral, a paid social media campaign, and a geotargeted digital campaign. We look forward to the positive impact this will bring to the Greater Lansing region!

Huge thanks to Brandon from In8 Create for facilitating a fun LEGO Lab team connection activity where we engaged in Serious Play!

It was great to learn more about each other in such a novel way!
