The Westport, Connecticut provider of specialty care services for a workplace setting said in a news release that its new offering features:

  • a network of nearly 2,000 certified child care facilities and 75,000 credentialed in-home caregivers.
  • national coverage.
  • guaranteed and direct placement in a local facility or with an in-home caregiver.
  • solutions for both child and elder care to meet the needs of the “sandwich” generation; and
