Creating Spaces where children grow, learn and thrive!
Why Daycare services in market centers?
The journey began in December 2021 in Gikomba market where we experienced first-hand the challenges that female traders with young children face every day as they try to balance childcare and managing their growing businesses. While these markets enable the women to earn a living, the market fail to provide amenities for the children grow and thrive. The overcrowded nature of the market centers with buzzling activities hinder women from providing quality and supervised care of their children increasing their prevalence to sexual violence, negligence including poor feeding and limited play affecting their growth and development. Research indicates that Caregiving responsibilities can take up to 5 hours daily resulting in a “baby profit gap” where profitability among female-owned businesses with children is 48% lower than those without children.
Our goal is to relive the childcare burden from the female traders by providing quality and affordable childcare services enabling them to commit more time to their businesses. Provided in partnership with county governments, our state of the art daycare centers are designed to provide a nurturing and stimulating environment for children from 6 months of age.
Wow Mom is committed to creating a clean, safe, and loving environment where every child can grow, learn and thrive. Our focus is on providing nurturing care that supports each child’s physical, emotional, creative, intellectual and social development at their own pace. We adopt play-based learning, emphasizing on a collaborative exchange of knowledge between children and adults within a hands-on, child-directed setting.
Here is what you can expect from our daycare centers:
