Virginia Hospital Center Opens Child Care Center for Employees and Community
Date:8/4/2008

New Service Aimed to Recruit and Retain Top Notch Hospital Employees

ARLINGTON, Va., Aug. 4 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Child Care & Education at Virginia Hospital Center, Arlington County's newest child care program, has announced its grand opening for Monday, August 11, 2008. Managed by Bright Horizons Family Solutions, this center is for Virginia Hospital Center employees and members of the community who live or work in Arlington County.

Child Care & Education at Virginia Hospital Center has the capacity to serve 123 children ages 6 weeks through 5 years. The 14,500 square foot center is conveniently located at 601 S. Carlin Springs Road, just off Route 50, in a park-like setting adjacent to the Arlington Urgent Care Center. The teacher to child ratio meets widely recognized national standards of quality as defined by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and the Arlington Virginia Department of Human Services.

Infants & Toddlers: 6 weeks to 2 years Teacher: Child Ratio 1:3

Twos: 2 years to 3 years Teacher: Child Ratio 1:5

Preschool: 3 years to 5 years Teacher: Child Ratio 1:8

A recent study conducted by the Consulting Practice at Bright Horizons shows that 68 percent of parents said that workplace child care was important in their decision to join their employer, and 90 percent of parents say that access to a worksite child care center positively affects their ability to concentrate and be productive at work.

In a hospital environment where the recruitment of nurses, physicians and non-clinical employees is essential, having child care at the workplace makes good business sense. "Virginia Hospital Center has a long tradition of providing exceptional healthcare to our community and we are now pleased to provide high-quality child care and early education to further this tradition," said Michael Malone, Vice President of Administrative Services at Virginia Hospital Center.
