Benefits at a Glance

Our comprehensive benefits package provides paid health, dental, and vision insurance, as well as life and disability coverage and flexible spending accounts for full-time staff.

We offer the following pre-tax accounts - Medical and/or Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA), Health Savings Account (HSA), and Transportation and/or Parking!

Our employees participate at no cost, from date of hire, in group life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment insurance, Short-Term Disability, and Long-Term Disability.

We offer tuition reimbursement and—as an added bonus—yearly professional development funds. Plus, to enhance our employees’ ongoing learning, we regularly host speakers on a range of child- and youth-relevant topics!

We put the equivalent of 10 percent of your salary into a vested retirement account for you once you’ve been here for a year—no match required! This compares to a national average match of three to five percent.

We offer $aving$ at participating pet merchants, on everyday basic items like food, treats, medications, supplies, and grooming!

We love kids! And we know what it’s like to care for them. To help our employees settle in with their newest family members, we offer six weeks of paid parental leave to employees who have been here for a year, for the birth, adoption, or foster care placement of a child.

Child Trends recognizes TEN paid holidays! Up to 4 days of bereavement leave can be used for any personal reason.

Child Trends employees care a lot about flexibility! We offer flexible and/or compressed work schedules to support a healthy work-life balance.

Child Trends provides employees and members of their household with free access to a network of licensed mental health providers and behavioral health care professionals.
