In the midst of the pandemic, some in private industry have stepped up their child care benefits.
Kayley Wolf is considering switching employers. But before leaving any job, she has to look at her child care benefits that help provide for her 6-month-old son.
Maribeth Bearfield, chief human resources officer at Bright Horizons, a U.S. child care provider, says the organization manages over 400 on-site child care centers in the United States. Also, over the course of 2020 and 2021, Bright Horizons launched 23 employer-sponsored centers and added over 225 back-up clients.
A portion of the tuition is subsidized through the company, Kirby says. The center is also open to members of the community because it has not yet reached capacity with just its employees. Nina Perez, early childhood national campaign director of MomsRising, a non-profit organization that focuses on family economic security, says having the ability to have an on-site child care center is revolutionary.
"They ended up being great partners in helping us investigate different options," Cuddy says."We heard what they were looking for... so I think it worked out really well by having their input." Kate Rosenbaum, a mother of a 1-year old son, said she and her husband work full-time. Her husband works at Duke University, where they offer employees a 5% discount at a daycare program near their house.
The company also gave all their employees worldwide unlimited access to tutor.com, a company that connects students to tutors online.
