At Blue Cross, our daily experiences with individuals who are faced with sickness or injury have helped us discover what really matters when dealing with others. This realization has helped us shape our work environment into one that focuses on your needs. We offer several services to ease the demands of your life and allow you to grow.
Child Development Center Managed by Bright Horizons
A childcare facility for ages six weeks through pre-kindergarten is available to associates in our Birmingham location. The facility, professionally managed by Bright Horizons, has met the rigorous standards set forth by the National Association for the Education of Young Children to become an accredited facility.
This facility within one mile of our corporate office, boasts light-filled classrooms and hands-on learning in a secure environment. For your assurance, all classrooms are monitored, and you may log in to remotely view your child in the classroom via password-protected access from a designated monitor.
Caring Corner
Parents always have the option of staying home with a sick child; however, if you have a mildly ill child and prefer to come to work, Caring Corner is a convenient resource available to you. This on-site facility allows your child to recuperate in comfortable surroundings with the attention of capable caregivers. You are always a phone call away and receive a complete report at the end of the day.
