Daycare centres are rapidly increasing in Colombo and in suburbs, however it’s about finding the right reliable place for your child. It’s just not about leaving your child until you’re done with work, but knowing your child is in safe hands and having the care of home is every parent’s biggest concern.
Sashini Gunasooriya, who has dabbled in many traits has after much thought decided to venture into opening a daycare for kids young as three months old. Being around kids have always been her love; she finds so much happiness in helping nurture the younger generations. She says this is the most satisfying task she has ever had to do.
The startup months weren’t easy for Sashini. “The initial days were very difficult as there was a lot of things look into. We are dealing with tender minds and with that comes many responsibilities. Seeing the wellness of each child and treating them with tender care is of vital importance” she added.
Saasha Angel focuses on providing homely care, a hygienic environment and safety. Parents don’t need to worry about anything when the child is with sasha’s daycare. The staff and Sashini are well trained in handling kids. “Today I see more women who are working and the work hours have got longer. Some are privileged to have support from home but this is not always the case. More women continue to work after giving birth to meet ends and live a comfortable life.
“This is one of the main reasons for the rapid increase of day care centres. But, the question is whether the babies as young as eight months are given the right nurturing environment “, added Sashini.
Sashini is a professional in many fields. Whatever task she has undertaken has been successful. She believes in being focused and giving the best at what you do. Her latest venture is very close to her heart, as she is very fond of children. Every child enrolled at Saasha Angel is treated as one of her own. For her the child’s safety and wellbeing is of utmost importance.
“What is more important is to create a good environment concerning the child’s physical and mental health. Finding a safe place to leave the child when parents are at work and knowing that the child is in loving and caring hands is the biggest concern of many parents. I believe in undivided attention for the children and so we only enroll 25 children on a full time basis”.
The centre is equipped with a 24/7 CCTV camera. Parents have the option of requesting footage of the same to monitor the child’s activity.
“Parents can leave their nanny with the child as well for a couple of hours. Some parents hesitate to leave the child alone with the nanny due to nefarious incidents of nannies mistreating children. At the centre we do not fail to keep a close eye”, Sashini noted.
She hopes to expand in the future without compromising on quality care. Saasha Angels is undoubtedly the best and most safe place for parents to keep their children in their tender growing years.
