2
00:00:07.519 --> 00:00:12.839
was one of the largest disruptions to
family's ability to access high quality and affordable

3
00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:17.280
childcare. I'm Stephen Kramer, the
CEO of Bright Horizons. We pioneered the

4
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:22.960
concept of partnering with employers around on
site and nearsighted childcare and ultimately have grown

5
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:28.839
to an organization that supports employers and
employees through all career and life stages.

6
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:35.439
The reason we see a real renaissance
in interest from employers around employer sponsored childcare

7
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:40.200
is because they recognize that this is
the number one issue on the minds of

8
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:45.039
working parents, and in an effort
for them to attract and retain the best

9
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:50.119
employees, they see their role in
employer sponsored childcare as critical. One of

10
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:54.880
the core challenges in our sector is
the shrinking number of individuals going into early

11
00:00:54.960 --> 00:01:00.600
childhood education, and at Bright Horizons, we have always recognized that are teachers

12
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:04.439

most important work, and so we work

advancement, and have a terrific career as
