Child care offered outside normal business hours
|
Managing work and child care has its challenges, and for some parents it's a real rush – or simply an impossibility – to pick up their child before closing time.
Bad traffic, late meetings and long shifts can make things tricky, and sometimes all-day sessions at education and care services still aren't long enough.
In recognition of this, a new child care centre in East Auckland is offering extended opening hours.
Rainbow Corner's Flat Bush early learning centre is open from 7am to 8pm, so let's look at what this means for families, and investigate other ways to organise child care outside normal business hours.
