So it is the responsibility of any organization should keep in mind as a welfare measure to keep a baby care centre in the premises. So this article deals the decor ideas for baby care centre

Introduction


Organisation should keep in mind to set up a baby care centre both space as well as other infrastructure and materials. There should be good space for both inner and outer space. Also it should cater to different kinds of age group which is of two kinds, that is, below and above the age of 3 and up to the age of six, children will come to centre after their schooling and stay in the centre till their mother finishes their duty.

Now let us see how things to be planned for this centre.

Inner space:

  1. Size of the rooms should be kept in mind while planning at least children can comfortably accompanied.

  2. Rooms should be constructed or modified for use of children in the following way.
    1. Shelves/door handles should be lower.

The rooms may be arranged with low table and chairs so as to accommodate water play, science experiments for drawing, paining, singing songs, story telling, clay work play with blocks, pebbles and these things need to be planned. Also provision for open low shelves for keeping story books, puppets, masks, cards. Tiny science experiments like magnifying lenses, magnets, shapes, sizes have to be provided. For things of these kind, to keep reserve need a store either as a rack or boxes.

Sleeping room:


Sleeping arrangement to be done with mats and rugs on the floor or light folding cots with smaller beds and pillows may be provided.

  2. Outer space should be covered with thatched roof for playing.

  3. Some space with sand grass for playing as well as sanitation.

  4. Trees and bush to be planted.

  5. Provide area for small slides, rope ladder.

  6. Space for riding tricycle or wheeler toys.

The important aspect is to provide first aid box and notice board to keep all the contact numbers of mothers and others.

The organisation while planning, either it can modify the existing place or construct a new space with the above ideas. For the two, the walls also have to be designed such that it attracts the tiny tots with various nature. It is both enjoyable as well as educative in the modern go green.

Conclusion:


I think I have given the maximum thought of setting up a baby care centre with all in one place and especially in the office environment, otherwise one has to run from post to pillar for various ages to suit their needs and it is the experience of mine when my son is in baby care centre right from the six months to six years and I have experienced each of the above according to his age and then I thought I should bring everything in one place and also now it can be feasible as office spaces are really big enough to plan.

This is indeed a very useful article Saroja Ma'am.

A baby care center inside the office premises is very much essential these days, especially when the majority of women are working. This facility will increase the number of female employees, as they feel more confident and happy to join an organization which has a baby care center nearby. For a mother the first priority is her child, hence she feels satisfied with an organization which has a good and hygienic baby care center within its premises. It will enable her to visit the child during tea breaks, lunch breaks etc. Mostly working ladies have hardly any time to spend with their kids, but in this way they get more time for their kids. It strengthens the bind between the mother and the child.

Many times I have seen ladies searching for a good day care center as soon as they get a job. Some may end up not up to the mark centers and will have to change the kid from there after a week or so. Certain ladies will give up the job as they can't get a good baby care center near their house or office. All these issues can be solved if a good one is available within the office premises.
