The average cost of replacing a departing employee in a female-dominant service organization is $47,000. The primary driver of departure in that workforce is childcare breakdown. Every major workforce study published in the last decade has confirmed this. You already know it. Your exit interview data confirms it. The question is not whether childcare is a workforce problem. The question is whether you have a partner built to solve it.
VLA is the first partner in the Columbia metro built to solve the actual problem: licensed, credentialed childcare that operates every hour your workforce does.

Every female-dominant white-collar service business in America has, somewhere in its operational constraints, a quiet line item nobody calculates: hours we cannot operate because our workforce cannot find childcare. That ceiling has cost the American service economy decades of revenue capacity.
| Operating Window | Daily Hours | Indexed Annual Revenue (on $50M base) |
|---|---|---|
| Current State (8 AM - 6 PM) | 10 hours | $50.0M |
| +2 Hours (8 AM - 8 PM) | 12 hours | $58.0M (+$8M) |
| +4 Hours (8 AM - 10 PM) | 14 hours | $66.0M (+$16M) |
| +8 Hours (6 AM - Midnight) | 18 hours | $78.0M (+$28M) |
Illustrative model based on a $50M service organization. The directional point is real: childcare infrastructure is a strategic lever, not a benefits line item.
