Child development, education, and childcare are the foundations of a child’s early school life, encompassing intellectual, social, and emotional growth. In the busy corporate life of today, daycares and preschools play a vital role in helping working families, particularly with services that fall outside the usual school day. Corporate daycare centers are a necessity now in India, giving peace of mind to the employee as well as ensuring that their children are provided with correct care and nurturing learning opportunities.

Amidst such shifting circumstances, Elly Child Care is a forerunner in crèche and daycare service exclusively for corporate companies with the objective to create total development through systematic programs, play-based learning, and interest oriented activities for children of various age ranges. The company combines experience, warmth, and creativity to benefit employers as well as employees alike with a truly win-win corporate childcare concept.

Nurturing Young Minds through Corporate Daycare

Elly Child Care’s origins date back over two decades ago with Learning Edge India, the parent organization of the Little Ellie chain of preschools. Inspired themselves by their own experiences and recognizing that top-quality preschools were not easily available in India, Vittal and Preeti Bhandary created Little Elly to provide a warm early learning environment.

The concept of company daycare was first presented in 2011 when a parent approached the founders with the request that a creche be established within their firm. This saw the birth of an independent vertical by the name of Elly Child Care, which has since made some serious headway throughout India, working with around 25 corporate companies to care for their inhouse nursery schools.

The facility offers full-service programs which cater to infants from six months all the way up to kindergarten, combining structured preschool schooling in the morning half of the day with developmentally appropriate daycare playtime in the afternoon half. The larger centers can accommodate up to 100 children, while the smaller ones can fit more intimate groups of 25-30, with one-on one focus.

It solves key problems in corporate daycare, such as the need to balance organizational compliance requirements and parents’

expectations for balanced development. By maintaining a balanced curriculum with cognitive, social, and emotional development, the company offers an engaging and diverse experience that nurtures total child development along with employee satisfaction.

Excellence through Skilled Staff & Holistic Engagement

One of the supports of Elly Child Care’s success lies in its hiring, training, and retention of highly qualified and compassionate staff. All staff members; teachers, center heads and support, under go rigorous training and sensitization programs, with on-the-job experience at various centers before posting.

Refresher courses every six months and background verification ensure consistency in standards, while ongoing auditing visits, and conferencing with parents and corporate sponsors ensure transparency and account ability. The centers promote holistic child development through participation in various activities, including seasonal camps, cultural festivals, and sports activities, involving children and families.

The organization also optimizes the use of technology through a custom-designed mobile application that provides parents with live feed on the child’s daily activity, meals, study time, and participation in activities, with minimum screen time for the child.

Elly Child Care model has resulted in tangible educational and organizational outcomes, documented in increasing enrollments, word-of-mouth, and cross referrals by fulfilled corporate clients. The centers generally begin with a small number of children and expand increasingly as faith in the quality care grows.

Many organizations have taken their affiliation to multiple offices due to sustained outcomes, demonstrating the effectiveness of the child care’s model. “Not by awards, but by the smile of a child and the confidence of a parent in our care”, are what success is defined as, according to Vittal. This emphasis on educational success, corporate alliance, and community involvement has made Elly Child Care a name to be reckoned with corporate child care services in major metropolitan cities of India.

Future Vision

Elly Child Care is also consolidating its model to meet the diverse needs of organizations ranging from small enterprises to corporates. New program combinations are to be launched, with both normal daycare services as well as structured educational services based on clients’ specific needs.

The firm is moving aggressively towards strategic alliances to get closer to more people and implement pioneering programs, evidencing a commitment to increase the quality, accessibility, and extent of corporate childcare in India. With flexibility, excellence, and long-term partnership as its focus, it is well placed to remain a respected leader in India’s corporate daycare sector.
