4 Top Benefits Of Choosing A Child Care Centre Near Your Workplace

Posted on: 7 February 2019

A lot goes into choosing a child care centre that is just right for both you and your child. One of the primary considerations to keep in mind is the location of the centre. As a working parent, you want a child care centre that is close to your workplace. Finding one that meets this criterion has its benefits, which include, but are not limited, to the following:

1.    Convenient Drop-Offs And Pick-Ups

You will not have to bear the inconvenience of going out of your way just to drop off your child at the child care centre. You can conveniently drop off the kid at the centre and be on your way to work without the unnecessary delays that come with rerouting your way to the other side of town.

2.    More Quality Time For You And Your Child

You can enjoy spending some quality time with your child during the commute to and from the child care centre. You wouldn't have as much time if you chose a centre that is a lot closer to home than it is to your workplace.

It's no secret that once you get home, you may get so caught up getting dinner ready, doing the laundry and other chores. As a parent, you can appreciate how important it is to take advantage of every little opportunity, including the commute from the child care centre, to bond with your child.

3.    You Can Always Drop In

Some child care centres are quite flexible when it comes to allowing parents to pop in during the course of the day. This is usually the case, provided that your little visits do not interfere with planned activities. For a child care centre close to your workplace, you can quickly drop in during your lunch hour just to see how your kid is doing and be back at the office before your break ends.

4.    Always Close By For Emergency Calls

Depending on exactly how close the child care centre is to your workplace, you should be able to get there within a few minutes when called in for an emergency. It can be very distressing for your child to be feeling unwell and not have you close. Being able to rush to their side during such emergencies can be very comforting for both of you.

Is finding a child care centre close to your workplace worth it? It most certainly is, given the highlighted benefits, among others.

Child care after school

In some ways, it gets even harder to find child care for your kids when they start school. Not many jobs allow you to do school pick-ups and drop-offs each day and my job definitely requires more time in the office than that. Many parents find innovative solutions to make it all work, but other parents seem to really struggle with finding a great solution that works for them and the kids. That's why I thought I'd start a blog where parents and child care gurus could swap tips on the best ways to organise child care for school aged children.
