In House Child Care a Terrific Idea

One of the main concerns of new and young mother's returning to work, is always that of child care. Where can they enroll their child that will provide a safe environment? What is the most economically affordable care of decent quality? How does one best combat infectious illness and bullying by other children in these places? There are a lot of things to consider.
I think a great solution lies in the most recent wave of child care providers in the corporate world. That is, an entire area within the actual employers building is sectioned off and used as a day care facility. This resolves a lot of issues. First, the parent/employee can be at ease that their child is safely being cared for just a couple of floors away. If something happens, they are nearby and if there is inclement weather or they are required to stay late, they can still access their child for a quick visit throughout the day (maybe over lunch time) and know that their child is happy and well looked after.
Proximity is comforting in situations like this. And having the freedom to pop in anytime also gives great peace of mind to a young parent with young children.
