"Working parents are increasingly challenged with access and affordability when seeking child and elder care. As a mom of three myself, I know firsthand the thought and investment that goes into these decisions. I'm incredibly proud to work at SpartanNash, where we provide meaningful benefits that support Associates at a variety of ages and life stages," said SpartanNash SVP and Chief Communications Officer Adrienne Chance.
Depending on eligibility1, SpartanNash's benefits can save Associates approximately $6,000 annually2. Daycare benefits include:
- 25% off tuition for ages 0-12 at childcare centers in The Learning Care Group (including AppleTree & Gilden Woods, Childtime, Tutor Time and 1,100 schools nationwide). The tuition discount also applies to before/after school care and camps offered by The Learning Care Group.
- Priority enrollment and waived enrollment and registration fees for children new to childcare centers in The Learning Care Group.
- Three days of backup care when regular care plans for children fall through due to snow days, sick days or holidays, also managed exclusively by The Learning Care Group.
- Company match of up to $500 for those enrolled in a Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account.
In addition to the new benefits outlined above, SpartanNash already offers a variety of top-tier benefits designed to support families, such as Paid Parental Leave, family planning benefits such as adoption assistance, and work-life resources, including free counseling sessions and information on every stage of life – from feeding your newborn or toddler to sending your children off to college.
"We are proud to partner with SpartanNash in providing a customized childcare solution," said Sean Sondreal, Chief Business Development Officer at Learning Care Group. "Through subsidizing tuition and offering back-up/emergency childcare, SpartanNash has shown a commitment to ensuring their employees have access to affordable, high-quality care."
Furthermore, SpartanNash Associates can enrich their lives with a number of additional benefits, including store discounts, tuition reimbursement, perks and Associate-exclusive savings, flexible scheduling and paid time off. Associates can also participate in 401(k) with up to a 4% employer match, stock purchase discounts, medical and dental plans, and health and wellbeing programs.
"At SpartanNash, our approach to benefits focuses on ensuring we promote our People First culture by offering benefits that provide choice and flexibility and advancing Associate wellbeing. We support all parts of the wellbeing journey, including emotional, physical, financial, work life and social needs for our people and their families," said EVP and Chief Human Resources Officer Nicole Zube. "We are excited to add daycare benefits to our Total Rewards offering, allowing current and future Associates to tailor the benefits to meet their family's needs."
In 2024, SpartanNash was named to Newsweek's America's Greatest Workplaces for Parents & Families. Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group recognized the America's Greatest Workplaces for Parents & Families in the United States by conducting a large-scale employer study based on over 693,000 company reviews.
"As more parents juggle raising a family with their work obligations, they want employers who offer flexibility and are supportive of work-life balance," said Nancy Cooper, Global Editor-in-Chief of Newsweek.
