ProEves, India’s largest online platform that helps parents to discover and book preschool and daycare centres for kids, is leading the charge in ensuring facilities are equipped to take care of the children of working parents. With offices ramping up to open and welcome employees back on premises whether returning on a hybrid or even full-time basis, the chief concern on parents’ minds, is how to meaningfully engage their children while they are at work, without compromising on their health, safety and security.
With the Karnataka and Haryana governments approving the opening schools over November and December, ProEves has started a Safety First Certification Training programme. The training aims to build awareness amongst the preschools, creches and daycare centres to better equip their staff and facilities, before opening up the centres to welcome back kids, as office life is poised to return to normal. As part of the programme, ProEves has already trained 500 Centre Staff, and aims to support 5000 centre staff by next year. The states leading the training participation are Karnataka, Haryana, Delhi NCR and Maharashtra.

However with Karnataka & Haryana guidelines on preschools, the reopening percentage is doubled up for state of Karnataka & Delhi-NCR and it’s been welcome move by parents.”
