Drop in on the Little Hands day care at this financial services and insurance company’s headquarters, and you’ll see kids trying their hand at arts and crafts, testing their math and science skills or listening to music. Open weekdays from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., the facility accommodates 226 kids and also offers holiday backup care as well as a 10-week summer camp with swimming, sports and yoga. Parents at other sites may call the company’s resource and referral service to find dependent care and use reduced rates at neighborhood centers. New moms can take 12 weeks of maternity leave (with 5 fully paid) or tap up to $5,000 in annual adoption aid; an in-house Adoption Network provides guidance where needed.
