DayCare Video

DayCare Video

Finding adequate childcare has become increasingly difficult in the bay area. Population increase has made finding services such as childcare difficult. Three Silicon Valley businessmen faced with this problem came up with an innovative solution. Out of their frustrations with the usual time consuming methods of finding good day care for their own children, a new concept embodied in their company, DayCareVideo.com emerged.

Three South Bay professionals Richard, Scott and Howard came up with a unique answer to finding quality childcare. They experienced the time consuming process of looking for child care for their own children. They had looked for child care individually, going to many different homes and centers. Talking about their problems, they decided collectively there must be a better way. In the discussion of solutions, it was confirmed that the available technologies were not being efficiently used to eliminate the time consuming process of having to go from one childcare provider to another. They believed that it would be much more efficient if parents who were busy professionals could go to one location and view slides or videos of available childcare providers.

The team believed that if local childcare providers could be presented this way, parents could then have an opportunity to select those specific providers they felt could meet their requirements. This would give them an immense break of time and expense from having to phone, drive and interview providers all over the East, West and South Bay areas. Richard, Howard and Scott took their idea and have made it into a practical business. DayCareVideo.com offers an extensive and growing list of childcare providers on videotape. Subscribers to this service can make an appointment with them and have them come to your home or business and show you videos of the providers.

These videos show facilities locations, give information on programs and discuss the philosophy of the different services their Videos answer questions and makes referrals to those childcare providers that their clients are interested in.

This service has also proven itself very popular with employers. They can offer this service as part of their employee benefit package. Employers find that this is a very popular part of the packages for new employees who come from other cities and areas. Many employees coming to the area with their families use this service for its cost effectiveness. Established employees starting new families find it very useful for locating services. This benefit also helps the employer by reducing the amount of time employees are away from the work place finding childcare services. Lost man-hour's can seriously affect the efficiency of companies.

Using DayCareVideo.com's services can be one of the ways in which employers can reduce employee absenteeism. Contracting the services of DayCareVideo.com gives the employer a progressive image, one that enhances its stature, in an era where employees through their unions and other organizations like the National Organization for Women have emphasized employers to be more responsiveness to the childcare problem.
