Invaluable Time – only parents can truly understand how invaluable your time is. Above all the resource I lack as a full-time working Mom is time spent on my children (and all the parenting guilt that comes with that!). While I may want to spend hours of my day emailing, calling, and meeting with my childcare provider, I often struggle to make it on time for collection, never mind in-depth progress reports!
Consider also the difficulty we experience in sourcing that childcare in the first place. At the time I most recently returned to work I required care for four children with ages ranging from 0-11 years. To further compound the issue our youngest son, Nathan, had complex additional medical needs and Global Developmental Delay (GDD). When we finally found a childcare solution that worked for us, I was almost afraid to address any minor concerns about the service at the risk of losing one of our childcare places.
Without my experience and knowledge from working in the sector my husband and I would have greatly struggled to navigate my return to work and the subsequent relationships with our different providers. I know that my personal feelings as a parent would have inclined me to leave work rather than have my children in a setting I wasn’t comfortable with; a luxury which we could honestly not afford! Yet this is the reality for many working parents who find themselves dissatisfied with the care on offer to them in their community or school. Without the time and information needed to resolve their concerns, parents are left unsupported and unable to resolve potentially minor issues which could greatly improve their child’s experience in the setting.
At Penguin Consultancy we are here to support you to review your childcare options and discuss what will work best for you and each of your children. We know that the ‘one size fits all’ approach is never successful when it comes to caring for your children and we recognize that, even within families, there can be a need for varied approaches.
Most importantly we offer you our time and years of professional experience in sourcing childcare and ensuring that any concerns that arise on your childcare journey are promptly addressed and resolved.
