With the impossible schedules most working parents face today (particularly those working in call centers), resorting to leaving children at home in the yaya's care is inevitable. But reliable help in the form of nannies who will genuinely and properly care for your child are rare finds nowadays.

As parents, we want our children to grow up being influenced by properly trained people in a healthy, stimulating environment. How sure are we that our children are well taken care of? What kind of conversations do they have, or what kind of TV shows do they watch while at home with yaya? Is your child being treated well while you are gone? Are they being educated and encouraged to learn at an age-appropriate pace? These are valid concerns that we understand.

On March 15, Lifeline Foundation will open its doors to all parents interested in enrolling their children aged 0-9 in our Lifeline Parental Assistance Programme 24-hour Daycare Centre. Daycare services are divided into 12-hour shifts in which your child can join in programs and activities that are right for their age.

The daycare is headed by mothers who fully understand the need for having a safe, reliable and accessible daycare where parents can be assured that their children are in the best hands whenever they're away at work. With its safety-centered approach, professionally trained staff of educators, nutritionists and nannies, LPAP will provide round-the-clock daycare and support. Sounds expensive? You might be pleasantly surprised!
