Assignment Title: Expanding Employer-Supported Childcare through Digitally-Enabled Care Enterprises

This includes a DECEs ecosystem mapping, an analysis of the degree to which DECEs can enable employer-supported childcare solutions, an assessment of the growth potential and financial and non-financial needs of DECEs with a focus on those servicing employers, assessment of potential barriers to growth and consideration of potential solutions.
