Back-Up Dependent Care Programs
Bright Horizons back-up dependent care programs provide employees with a safety
net for those days when regular arrangements fall through. Back-up care supplements,
rather than replaces, normal care arrangements and is a comforting emergency alternative
when you need it the most. Bright Horizons’ programs offer back-up care for family
members of all ages, from infants through the elderly, including adults and children
with special needs.
Bright Horizons back-up care programs are provided most often through employers
who sponsor care for their employees with dependent care needs. We also provide
back-up care to the community at certain Bright Horizons child care centers.
Employer-Sponsored Program Options
If your employer sponsors a back-up dependent care program, you may have access
to a variety of back-up care solutions, depending on the programs in which your
employer participates.
Dedicated Back-up Care Centers
- Dedicated center-based back-up child care programs provide employees of participating
companies with access to specific child care centers for their back-up care needs.
These programs are delivered within Bright Horizons centers that have been designed
and are managed to provide high-quality back-up care. Many of these programs occur
within dedicated back-up environments with staff specially trained in back-up child
care. To learn whether your company participates in a dedicated back-up child care
program, contact your human resources, benefits, or work/life department.
Back-up Care Advantage Program™
- The Bright Horizons Back-Up Care Advantage Program™ provides access
to back-up care for children — both well and mildly ill — as well as adults and
elders. Participants may access our 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, licensed home health care professionals. If
your organization offers this program and you would like to register, please call

What Options Are Available to You?
If you need help determining what programs you have access to, contact your human
resources, benefits, or work/life department. You may also call 866-273-2773 to

your back-up care options and register with your program of choice.
