Back-Up Care
Bright Horizons back-up care program provides working parents with a safety
net for those days when regular arrangements fall through. Back-up child
care supplements, rather than replaces, your regular child care
arrangements; a comforting emergency alternative when you need it the most.
Program Options
Depending on your employer’s offering, you may enroll your child in a variety of back-up care solutions that Bright Horizons provides.
- Dedicated back-up child care centers are for the exclusive use
of your employer.
- Memberships in either consortium or
full-service child care centers enable
multiple employers to purchase spaces in one common center
dedicated exclusively to back-up child care. In a full-service child
care center, space is secured within the program for back-up care.
- The Bright Horizons Back-Up Care Advantage Program
provides access to back-up care for children — both well and
mildly ill — and elders through a nationwide network of quality,
licensed child care centers, including hundreds of Bright
Horizons child care centers, as well as in-home care provided
by trained, credentialed and experienced licensed home health care professionals.
High Standards of Care
Bright Horizons' back-up child care programs were the first of their kind to be accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). All child care and early education centers available through Bright Horizons are accredited by NAEYC or meet the established standards of quality for accreditation or state licensing, including developmentally appropriate curriculum, appropriate health and safety policies, teacher-child ratios, and teacher licensure. The home health care professionals are trained and experienced in child care or adult/elder care and meet stringent licensing and credentialing requirements.
