Modern times

The structure and the values of the society in Europe have shown significant shifts over the last few decades. Nowadays, men and women pursue their own careers. But one thing has not kept up with the growing demand: The supply of appropriate child care. The consequence has been a high involuntary employee fluctuation. Companies now realize that they also have to deal with this problem.

Why Your Employees Need Employer-Sponsored Child Care

The benefits of a company supported child care solution are well known:

An employer-sponsored care option helps to reduce absenteeism of young parents.
The productivity of a satisfied employee is generally higher. Knowing about the well-being of the child, the employees are more focussed on their work and thus more productive.
Studies show us that parents of young children often quit their jobs. A sponsored child care programme can prevent the loss of valuable know-how and strengthen the employee retention.

Consequently an employer-sponsored child care is not only an investment in your employees, but also into future of your company.

Little Star Day School Day School offers different solutions:

“Company”

Our full-service option is tailor-made for companies that plan to open a company-integrated child care centre. Together with your company we can design the perfect solution. This includes the initial idea, the planning, set-up and management of the centre. We acknowledge that child care is not the core competency of our clients. Therefore it makes perfect sense to outsource services, which are not aligned with the strategic positioning of your company. All our solutions are designed so that Little Star Day School employees manage the centres and the client company can thus focus on their core business.

“Group”

This lean option gives your company the possibility to find a solution that suits your requirements. With this solution employers can purchase a complete group in one of our centres – only for employees of your company. With this approach the company doesn’t have to commit or to invest in a company-integrated child care centre.

“Slot”

Like in our “Group”- approach investments by your side are not necessary. Your company has the freedom to purchase slots in one of our schools and your employees can benefit from high-quality child care within a short period of time.

The advantages for employers of purchasing slots in Little Star Day School centres are:

Your company can offer your employees a child care solution within a short time.
No investment is necessary and current funds can be used in the core business strategy.
The duration of the contract is flexible, whereas the investment in a company-integrated centre constitutes a long-term investment. Your company remains able to react quickly to changes.
The employer has the choice of sponsoring monthly tuition.

“Back-up”

All parents know about it and hope it won’t happen: The in-home child care, nanny and family members are not available due to vacation or health reasons, resulting in an emergency situation, where parents don’t have any child care available. In such a case it is normal that one of the working parents stays home. Little Star Day School Day School knows about this problem and offers a limited number of back up slots.

Our back-up services are individually designed to cater to your company's needs:

Operation of own backup centre
Back-up centres shared by different companies
Back-up slots in existing Little Star Day School centres

Events

Little Star Day School also offers an event service. You can hire us to supply entertainment for children at events. We have a variety of programs and activities to keep the children entertained. Some examples are a jumping castle, tying balloon figures and Mr Bubble.

Companies like google have made use of this service, to keep the children entertained at their company events. Please contact us for more details about this service.
