FAQs About Employer-Sponsored Child Care Centers
What is an employer-sponsored child care center?
Why do employers sponsor child care programs for employees?
What ages does Bright Horizons serve in its employer-sponsored child care centers?
Depending on the needs of the employer, Bright Horizons can support care for children ages six weeks to six years. We have programs with developmentally appropriate curriculum for infants, toddler, preschool and pre-K. Some employers also sponsor school-aged back-up care, summer camp and school vacation programs.
What are dependent care benefits?
It can be overwhelming for employees to try to be efficient and productive and keep up with work demands, while also tending to their children’s needs and helping them grow and thrive.
On top of that, employees often encounter child care emergencies — and some are left with no option but to skip work for the day or even put their careers on hold to manage child care responsibilities. Providing back-up child care benefits and employer on-site child care through employer-sponsored child care centers can effectively put an end to this ordeal and offer working parents the support they need.
Bright Horizons is a leading provider of employer-sponsored child care services for over 1,000 organizations around the world. With over 30 years of experience, Bright Horizons provides reliable back-up child care benefits and employer on-site child care for many leading organizations and their employees. These benefits help boost employee retention and help employees achieve the work-life balance they need to focus on their careers.
Benefits of Employer-Sponsored Child Care Centers
Employer-sponsored child care centers benefit both employees and employers. Child care challenges cause a high rate of employee absenteeism — and employer-sponsored child care centers offer a solution.
Employer-sponsored child care centers can provide during child care emergencies. Instead of getting stranded without child care and having to stay home, employees can rely on back-up child care benefits offered by their employers — and they’ll have the peace of mind they need to focus on their work. In return, organizations will enjoy consistent productivity and increased employee retention. Reliable employer-sponsored child care centers make life easier for working parents.
