The JPMorgan Chase Child Care Plan provides two types of child care services managed by Bright Horizons Family Solutions:
- Full-service child care at 14 fully or partially JPMC-dedicated Bright Horizons operated onsite (or near-site) child care centers ("Dedicated Bright Horizons Centers"), and
- Back-up child care at 14 Dedicated Bright Horizons Centers, and at Bright Horizons' network of back-up child care centers and camps throughout the U.S. (plus in-home care in limited situations, and exchange of back-up child days for tutoring and virtual camps).
Full-service care is available for eligible children who are 6 weeks old to preschool. Refer to "Eligible Children" for additional information. You are responsible for confirming eligibility of a child prior to enrolling the child for care services.
Full-service child care can be utilized in 5-day, 3-day, or 2-day per week schedules (unless otherwise communicated by the centers) and is dependent upon availability. To find a center, view monthly tuition rates, set up a Bright Horizons login, and complete a registration form, visit: http://www.brighthorizons.com/JPMCFullService.
Back-up care is available for children who are 6 weeks to 12 years old.
Refer to "Eligible Children" for additional information. You are responsible for confirming eligibility of a child prior to enrolling the child for care services.
You may use up to 20 days of back-up care per child per year. Back-up care is only available on days when you are working at JPMorganChase.
To use back-up care, you must register in advance, and then make reservations when care is needed, up to 90 days in advance. Space is limited, so be sure to make your reservation as soon as you know you will need back-up care. You can make reservations online, at https://backup.brighthorizons.com/jpmc.
In addition to providing up to 20 days of back-up care per year per child, the 14 Dedicated Bright Horizons Centers offer special programs described under "Special Programs."
Back-up child care days can be used for in-home child care in limited situations where there are no operating child care centers in the Bright Horizons expanded network of providers. In-home care will display as an option on the reservation system if you are eligible for this service.
Back-up child care days that are not used can be exchanged for tutoring and virtual camps.
