Day care or the Child care or Shishu Griha or Crèche is a place where care and end to
end supervision is provided for infants, toddlers, pre-schoolers, and school-aged
children, at a well-organized set up by a trained Day care personnel. The set-up is
usually a centre-based facility where all the necessary infrastructure is available to
take care of kids or it can be either in their own homes or in the home of a relative or
other caregiver. Child care providers can be children's first teachers, or assistant
teachers or nannies and therefore play an integral role in systems of early childhood
education. Quality care from a young age can have a substantial impact on the
future successes of children. The main focus of childcare is on the overall
development of the child which includes, Physical, Mental, Socio-emotional &
Psychological development
Previously, Kids were taken care by the primary caretakers at home who were the
mother, or grandmother or the aunt. But, Since the last half of the twentieth century
there was a dramatic rise in the numbers of working women with young children who
worked outside of the home. In the year 2000, 55 percent of mothers with infants
were in the work force. In 2001, 64 percent of mothers with children under the age
of six, and 78 percent of mothers with children ages six to seventeen were in the
work force. These developments led to an increased demand for childcare providers
by parents while they are at work
These women found it difficult to manage kids in workplace or kids were not allowed
in workplace. Hence, some other women started looking after these kids at their
home or at a comfortable environment. Ever since started the concept of Day care or
Creche for the kids of working women. The centres were run at home or even within
the Industry or company premises. Now, This facility is become the most demanded
as the women workforce has increased or some of them wanting their kids to be in a
organized setup so that they get acquainted to the school atmosphere.
