The Crème School, a leading provider of premium early childhood education, today announced a new employer-sponsored tuition benefit that helps families access its high-quality programs while giving employers another way to invest in their workforce.
The tuition benefit program applies to more than 700 organizations nationwide, allowing eligible employees to receive savings of 10% to 100% on Crème tuition, depending on their employer’s benefit. Organizations can offer the program directly or through third-party benefits providers.
The announcement comes as many employees review their workplace benefits ahead of open enrollment season. For employers, child care tuition support offers a scalable way to help address a challenge that can affect employees’ attendance, productivity and ability to remain in the workforce. For families, it can bring premium early childhood education within closer financial reach.
“Child care is both a family priority and a workforce need,” said Stephanie Sturdevant-Ward, vice president of The Crème Schools. “By helping employees with tuition, employers can make it easier for working parents to access the premium education and care they want for their children. This program opens the door for more families to experience Crème’s individualized learning approach and hands-on enrichments.”
Flexible options for employers and families
Employers including Whirlpool and Walgreens offer the tuition benefit directly to employees, while companies including Google and AT&T connect employees to the benefit through third-party platforms such as Perks at Work.
The program is available to both new and currently enrolled families. Parents can contact their human resources department or review their employer’s benefits portal to determine whether they are eligible for tuition support.
Premium early learning across 16 states
Crème’s proprietary curriculum combines research-based instruction, small-group learning and hands-on signature enrichments to provide individualized learning experiences for children from infancy to school age. In addition to their early learning programs, Crème also offers private kindergarten as well as drop-in care for school-age children on school out days and during fall, winter and spring breaks. In addition, Crème offers all-day summer camp programs for school-age children.
Crème operates schools in Arizona, California, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia.
The need for child care support extends across the workforce. A 2026 ReadyNation report estimates that insufficient child care for children under age five costs the U.S. economy $172 billion annually in lost earnings, productivity and tax revenue.
