Day Care Center
History
The FJWU Daycare Center was established in 1998 with the primary aim of supporting and empowering working women. It offers full-time childcare services to the children of FJWU faculty, staff, and students, providing a convenient solution for parents who work during the day. The Daycare Center offers numerous advantages that benefit both parents and children.
Introduction
The Daycare Center is divided into rooms based on age groups, including:
- Infants’ Room: Newborn to One Year
- Young Toddlers’ Room: One to Two Years
- Old Toddlers’ Room: Two to Three and a Half Years
The child-to-caregiver ratio adheres to the guidelines and standards set by Women Development Department, Government of Punjab. All rooms are well-equipped with heating and cooling systems, LED lights for entertainment, and CCTV cameras for surveillance. The Daycare Center's supervisor constantly monitors the caregivers and children's activities.
Children at the Daycare Center engage in activities that promote early socialization, self-confidence, and interaction with diverse personalities. They begin to learn through listening and speaking activities before they even enroll in school. The Daycare Center offers basic educational benefits, such as alphabet and number recognition. Our staff members are highly trained professionals who employ effective techniques to enhance a child's communication and language development. This includes teaching alphabets, numbers, primary shapes, and colors. The Daycare Center plays a crucial role in preparing children for school, allowing parents to attend work with peace of mind and increased productivity. It also fosters children's development into confident individuals as they grow up, which is truly invaluable.
Our team undergoes comprehensive professional and personal development training sessions to ensure they remain current in essential childcare practices.
If you are part of the FJWU community and have young children, don't miss the opportunity to take advantage of our services.
