Daimler Truck North America

Daimler made comprehensive family benefits a cornerstone of their talent strategy to become an Employer of Choice by 2020. To achieve this, Daimler needed to partner with a child care provider who could offer nationwide coverage in addition to a custom on-site center. They chose KinderCare Education at Work to build a custom on-site child care center and answer the child care needs of their dispersed workforce.

 

Daimler partnered with KinderCare to build a beautiful on-site center, First Gear Academy, on their campus. With views of Portland’s downtown waterfront and room for 118 children, First Gear quickly reached capacity. Daimler then offered their employees Priority Access and Tuition Benefit, providing waitlisted families and its national workforce assistance with dedicated placement and tuition savings at any KinderCare Learning Center across the country.

From 2017 to 2018, more than 40 families took advantage of Daimler’s tuition savings for their children. Collectively, families have saved an average of over $20,000 per year in child care costs nationally. With a child care package of Priority Access, Tuition Benefit, and on-site care, every Daimler employee now has access to the same high-quality education and care for their children.
