Day Care

In Bangladesh, at present a large number of females are serving in various fields in different military & civil organization. The number of serving housewives has gradually increased in recent years than ever before. As both father & mother are serving parallelly, nurturing their children are being hindered. That's why parents must have to depend on housemaid for looking after their beloved children which sometimes are not safe & reliable. As a result, matter of nurturing the children in absence of parents is creating a silent hindrance at their workplace.
