With the accelerated pace of life, many working families face the challenge of raising a baby and working after maternity leave. Caring for oneself may be anxious due to lack of energy, while parenting or sisters-in-law may be conflicted and expensive to care for the baby. In response to this situation, Gongshu District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province has launched a new infant care service - "Little Moon Age Nursery", which provides safe, comfortable and scientific care services for babies as young as 6 months old. What are the features of this service compared to traditional childcare services? What kind of convenience will it bring to parents? What kind of care will the children receive? This initiative of Gongshu District of Hangzhou deserves our in-depth understanding.
In today's fast-paced life, working families are faced with the choice between childcare and work after maternity leave, and self-care will make people worry about lack of energy, and inviting both parents or sisters-in-law may make it difficult due to educational differences and expensive problems.
From March 2024, the first batch of 14 childcare service institutions in Gongshu District of Hangzhou will launch a new infant and toddler care service, providing "small month-old childcare" services for babies as young as 6 months. How is this service different from traditional childcare? What kind of convenience do parents get? How will the children be cared for?
On the morning of February 29, the reporter visited the Blue Peacock Nursery Center in Xiangfu Street, Gongshu District, which is one of the first institutions to provide "small moon childcare" services. Parents enthusiastically made appointments to visit the park and conducted a review of the teachers, care services and other issues.
The classrooms in the park are carefully divided into "millet grain class" and "rice grain class", which are specially designed to provide services for babies aged 6 to 12 months. The detailed facility settings and standard operating procedures resolve parents' worries and anxieties, allowing children to grow up in a safe and comfortable environment.
In order to meet the growth needs of children of different ages, the childcare center has carefully set up a variety of teaching aids and facilities, such as treasure chairs, cognitive mirrors and rich play teaching aids, etc., to provide children with a good activity and learning environment.
The "Little Moon Age Childcare" service provided by 14 childcare institutions in Gongshu District covers infants and toddlers aged 6 to 24 months, providing different care services for babies aged 6 to 12 and 12 to 24 months respectively, ensuring that each child can receive personalized care.
The childcare center has set up a detailed daily schedule and activity arrangement, covering a variety of courses such as appreciation, breastfeeding, picture book reading, etc., to comprehensively promote the physical and mental development of children. In addition, the center also provides extended services such as early delivery and late pick-up to reduce the pressure on parents.
After the visit, many parents expressed their satisfaction with the "Little Moon Childcare" service, believing that this service is more affordable than professional childcare sisters. After learning about the experience, parents made a decision about sending their children to a childcare center.
The public's demand for "childcare for young months" is gradually increasing, especially among dual-income workers and parents of the "post-90s". In order to ensure the safety and health of young babies, Gongshu District has formulated relevant supportive guidance rules on the basis of preliminary research, and carried out qualification training for practitioners.
Gongshu District has issued the "Implementation Plan for Infant and Toddler Care Services for Small Moon Age Segments", which clarifies the standardized operation procedures of childcare services, and carries out universal benefits through ** support policies to ensure the scientificity and quality of "Xiao Yue-age Childcare" services.
In the future, Gongshu District will strengthen the supervision of childcare institutions and monitor the status of children in real time through the information platform. The contracted "child care doctor" will also ensure the physical and mental health of the children at all times. Through these measures, the level of "small moon childcare" services will be comprehensively improved.
The launch of the "Little Childcare" service has been a boon for many families, especially those who need to juggle work and childcare. Through professional care, children are provided with a safe and comfortable environment to grow up in, and parents can work with greater peace of mind. In the future, it is believed that this new childcare service will be promoted in more regions and benefit more families.
