Community enjoys 15-minute access to all conveniences‘Baby House’

The subdistrict is the first in the city to launch the “Baby House” project, which offers daycare to children under the age of 3.

Shanghai has been establishing childcare facilities in communities to alleviate parents’ burdens. This year, the city launched the “Baby House” pilot project to “embed” childcare services in existing venues to make lives easier for working parents and grandparents.

The subdistrict currently has four “Baby Houses.” They are housed in a community comprehensive eldercare center, a community CPC service center and kindergartens. The most recent one, which opened this month at the Wujiang Kindergarten, is considered an “upgraded version” — not only a “Baby House,” but also a “Mother School.”

A young mother named Xiaoqing was among the first to bring her 2-year-old child to the site. She hoped that the teachers would assist her baby’s language development and teach her how to communicate with toddlers.

She said it will relieve her worries when the baby starts kindergarten in September.

It currently provides free childcare and parenting advice. More sites have been added to meet the demand.
