Raising Children

What you need to know

They say you’re only as happy as your happiest child, so when one of them is facing a challenge, Solstice is here to help. Whether helping you identify local resources, find useful information, or manage their (or your own) emotional well-being, Solstice can support you and your family.

Child care

Bright Horizons offers both in-center and in-home back-up care to meet your needs. Screened in-home caregivers and care in high-quality centers are available. Care recipients may include infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children or teens. The back-up care offering is limited to 25 visits per year. Register today.

If you are looking for more than back-up care, you have preferred enrollment in Bright Horizons centers for full-time child care. Preferred enrollment allows you to gain access to available full-time child care spaces in Bright Horizons centers ahead of the general community. In addition, you have a free premium Sittercity membership.

Local resources and support

The employee assistance program (EAP) provides information about child care services available in your area and an online library of documents about parenting issues.

In addition, you can take advantage of up to eight face-to-face counseling sessions per issue, including the stress of being a caregiver, per year. Use the online resources and tools to help you be the best parent you can be.

Call a Health Advocate at 877-622-4327, or visit the EAP website.

Furry children

When you need dog walking, house sitting, or boarding, Bright Horizons gives you credits for either Rover or Wag. Watch a video to learn more. Register today.

There’s an app for that. Many of our benefits partners have mobile apps.
