Importance of Daycare for Working Women
“Most people assume that women are responsible for households and child care. Most couples operate that way – not all. That fundamental assumption holds women back”.
-Sheryl Sandberg
Women in metropolitan cities, like Karachi, are often found juggling between the roles of a mother, a family maker, an employee or and entrepreneur. The Institute of Women’s policy research highlighted that a day care is a basic need of a working woman. In this blog, The Artes School acknowledges the issues that working women face and accentuates why day care center are a significant player in the success of a working woman.
A drop-in daycare is a sustainable solution:
Daycare prices in Karachi often shy away working women. However, The Artes School believes that a childcare center is a long-term investment. Mothers can save on the daycare cost for a short span of time, avail their maternal leave and achieve work-life balance for the time being. However, for lasting success in professional careers, working women must resort to a permeant fix- an infant daycare.
A child day care supports in striking the ultimate work life balance:
In the thriving business arena, corporations are themselves offering child day care under the ‘near site daycare center’ and ‘community daycare center’ models. In such arrangements, employers bear the daycare cost for the children of employees. The Artes school is one such part time daycare center which is managed by experts. This way, working women can avail baby day care services in vicinity of their corporate offices or homes.
The modern nuclear family system stands on affordable daycare:
On an individual level, day care centers are extremely important to prevent mothers from a burn out. On a family level, it is almost essential for working women to give up on the average daycare cost and bring bread and butter to the table. Despite extremely hectic work schedule, a child center like The Artes School ensures that the learning and development of the child is not compromised.
Local daycares prevent productive working women from dropping out of their careers:
With limited government initiatives with regards to childcare options, working women in Karachi are more likely to solely dedicate themselves to taking care of the new family member by giving up on their jobs. The Artes school provides day care services that facilitate working women in upholding their corporate roles while also prioritizing the well being of their kids.
For all these reasons and more, the importance of daycare in the lives of working women is obvious. To cater to this growing need, The Artes School has come forward with flexible daycare hours for corporate clients. If you are a working woman, or the husband of a working woman or an employer of a working woman, you must apply for our part time child care. The Artes School aims to minimize infant daycare cost, maximize the retention of working women in the labor force and empower working women to opt for challenging careers.
