About
he return from parental leave is one of the biggest inflection points in an employee's tenure. How supported a new parent feels in those first months back often decides whether they stay, how quickly they re-engage, and how much of that new-baby stress follows them into the workday.
Welcome Baby, Welcome Back to Work is Peace at Home Parenting Solutions' program built for that exact transition, before leave, during it, and in the months after a parent returns. It gives new parents real strategies for the questions that come up again and again: how to choose childcare with confidence, how to protect their bond with a baby while working, and how to build routines that actually hold once the schedule changes.
Parents get three ways in:
Live Workshops and Discussions: We design a monthly or quarterly program of workshops and discussions for your new parents, built around the topics below or shaped by your employees' own feedback. These sessions create a micro-community of parents navigating the same stage at the same time, building the kind of peer support that keeps people from feeling like they're figuring it out alone.
On-Demand Resources: Parents can dive into our Welcome Baby Resource Guide 24/7, with quick videos, tips, handouts, blogs, podcasts, and more on the stuff new parents ask about most.
Talk to an Expert: Parents can speak one-on-one with any member of Peace at Home's Birth to Five team about the specific challenges they're facing.
Every piece is designed and delivered by advanced-degree specialists in infant development and family transitions, the same team behind Peace at Home's 98% parent satisfaction rating and 90% client renewal rate.The return from parental leave is one of the biggest inflection points in an employee's tenure.
