Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham in Bengaluru offers a secure and hygienic child daycare facility within the campus, catering to the children of working parents during daytime hours. This daycare was established in December 2006 and is presently situated in Girls Hostel Room GA 001.
A dedicated facility is currently under construction to better meet the needs of the children. The daycare operates on all working days from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. It currently serves 5 children, ranging in age from 1 to 8 years, and also provides after-school care for older kids.
The daycare is staffed by two well-trained female caretakers, ensuring ample supervision and individualized attention for each child. Health and safety are top priorities. The amenities include attached washrooms, designated rest areas with beds and pillows for each child, a cradle for the younger ones, a play area stocked with toys and other play materials. The facility also offers purified water, an oven, and a breastfeeding area. Older children enjoy outdoor activities such as ball games and various other games for one hour each day. Parents are welcome to make unscheduled visits and are encouraged to voice concerns and suggestions. The fact that kids are in a safe and clean facility inside the campus gives an immense sense of relief to working parents. This is evident from the testimonials from the parents.
” I am a PhD student studying in Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham University, Bengaluru. I enrolled my daughter in her 9 years onwards and now it’s been one year. She is very happy and comfortable. I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for the outstanding care and nurturing environment in the creche. Even if I pick up my child in the late evening, the staff do not frown. I am consistently impressed by the professionalism and genuine care exhibited by the staff. I wholeheartedly recommend the creche to my fellow researchers.”
Sajitha Krishnan, PhD Student, CSE Dept., Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham University, Bengaluru.
“I am Priya Gupta, Associate professor at Amrita school of Business, Bengaluru. I have used Amrita day care facility for my kid. I find it a very homely place. Children are well taken care of and parents don’t have to worry about their safety”
Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences had began the daycare facility with the same objective more than a decade back, located in the second floor of Nalanda building. During the Covid time, the facility was closed for safety reason, and should re-open shortly.
Several parents expressed their gratitude for this facility:
“My kid used to go there/… / That time, the creche was very active. The staff was taking care of my child in a very good manner. My kid was only 5 months. 2yr she was there. I am very thankful to AIMS .Otherwise I would not have been able to continue my job. Outside so many daycares were there that time but it was not as trustworthy as AIMS.” Dr. Vineetha, AIMS Hospital
The daycare center offered an array of amenities, a hygienic environment, and a dedicated full-time workforce. Operating from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., it was managed by four efficient and trained caretakers who aimed to provide optimal care tailored to the children’s needs.
The daycare was well-furnished, featuring a stimulating environment with vibrant colors, ensuring a safe setting. It provided children with essential learning opportunities and recreational activities, complete with a designated play area. The facility served children ranging from six months to ten years of age.
