Bright Horizons Family Support Days

For You, Your Kids, Parents and Grandparents

At Morgan Stanley, family matters. Put your Bright Horizons family support days to use when your family needs backup child or adult care, tutoring or daytime enrichment programming.

Family Support Days: Backup Child and Adult Care and Education Programs

Each year, you receive 40 family support days to use toward the following Bright Horizons programs for your children and adult relatives. The Firm is pleased to subsidize these services. The costs shown are the portion you’ll pay (aka copays). You may book services 90 days in advance (up from 60, effective June 1, 2023).

Heads-up: To further support families, fees may be waived to accommodate critical care needs during spring break and in the fall when schedules at the beginning of the new school year.

YOUR CHILDREN

Backup Child Care

When your child’s school is closed, your regular caregiver isn’t available or you need a break from caregiving, Bright Horizons’ national network of child care centers and in-home providers is there.
