Do you feel in the same situation sometimes? Not enough time for everything and for everyone? Especially those young parents with commitments to work and family. Or the 'sandwiched' generation where you have very young children and aging parents to take care at the same time too.
After 17 years working in educational field, I decided to start my home based educare services 24/7 as I see that there are some unmet needs faced by the working class parents:
- Preschool children tend to 'fall sick' as they are building resistance to diseases in the early years. However, working parents need to take 'urgent child sick leave', as schools are not allowed to keep the infected child in the school, for the health concerns of the child and other children. Frequent incidents will affected the parents' performance at work. Not all parents have understanding bosses or workmates in this fast pace society and annual leave, sick leave entitlements are limited per year.
- Parents who need to work non-office timings or shift works, often have to look for alternate caregivers to pick up their children on time, before the school closes for daily operation. Another major concern will be late dinner time for their children if parents need to work overtime.
- Unlike our Australia educational system where we get most of the Early Childhood Education Manual, local Educators do not have the luxuries of having small children-teacher ratio. Children who develop at a slower pace tends to lose out as less attention can be given to them (local Teacher-Students ratio range from 1:4 for infants to 1:25 for kindergarten kids).
- Sometimes parents also need a break from child-minding to have quality couple time to strengthen their marriages as well.
My faithful companion of 16 years (& still counting) and I love having children in our cosy little home. Many children have went through our care over the years due to recommendations from other parents and friends. Feel free to meet us for a discussion if you need any educare services that cater to your needs.
