3 reasons why you should send your child to an Infant care or Childcare near your workplace

1. Convenience

In Singapore, travelling from one end of the island to the other can take anywhere from 30 – 40 minutes by car; but add the rush hour traffic in the morning and in the evening, your commute may take up to an hour, or more if you’re using the public transport.

Since parents will have to drop off their child at the preschool before heading to work, depending on the nature and timing of work, that means they will have to factor in the commute to the office. For parents who start work really early, say 7.30am, some childcare centres perhaps are not yet open before then.

And if your workplace and office is far from home, sending your child to an infant care or childcare close to your workplace can help you avoid the rush to pick up your child by 7pm or when the centre closes. For the busy bees, this means that if your meeting happens to overrun, you’ll still be able to get to your child in time!

2. Travel and bond with one another

Working parents can also take the commute as an opportunity to bond with their children. It could be talking to them, asking them about their day at school, or just spending time with one another. Workplace childcare centres also offer parents a chance to catch a glimpse of their child during lunch time! If you’re having a bad day at the office, looking at the smile on your child’s face will surely brighten up your day!

3. In times of emergency

New or first-time parents should brace yourselves as your little one may fall sick every now and then when you first send your child to the infant care or preschool. Especially in the first year of their preschool journey, their immune system is still developing and they are still getting used to interacting with other children.

By sending your child to a childcare centre near your workplace and office, you will be able to reach them quickly in times of emergency.
