The first 1000 days - between a woman's pregnancy and the child's second birthday - is a critical window to ensure a brighter and healthier future for children

Exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months and introducing a balanced diet after that contributes significantly to a healthy and happy childhood. The mother’s diet during pregnancy and after birth is equally important for the well-being of both.
80% percent of a child’s brain is developed by the age of 2. When caring adults give fulsome attention to young children – playing, singing, telling stories to them at feeding, bathing and sleep time - the multi-sensory stimulation makes children curious learners and well prepared for school and adult life.
Children blossom emotionally and physically in safe and loving environments. Nurturing care by parents, grandparents and caring adults comforts children and helps them develop trusting relationships - giving them the freedom to choose and grow as happy and confident adults.

Millions of children in India are struggling to survive and need support to reach their full potential. Hunger, violence and neglect causes irreversible damage to their brain development, putting children at a disadvantage throughout the rest of their life.
59 percent of children from poor families grow up in unsafe and hostile conditions, when their parents are away at work.
1 in 3 parents of children under 2 years reported increased anxiety and depression due to pandemic related unemployment and stress, leading to emotional and behavioural difficulties in their children.

In the childcare centres run by Mobile Creches, children enjoy three freshly cooked meals and the caring attention of Didis who feed them with love in a safe, hygienic space.
Doctors of Mobile Creches provide regular health care to pregnant and lactating mothers and their babies. They treat illnesses and provide minerals and vitamins to boost good health.
Mobile Creches creates a joyful learning environment at their childcare centres for babies, toddlers, preschoolers and all children, making it possible to transform their lives.
Children learn as they play, actively engaging in a scientifically designed curriculum that includes outdoor and indoor play, exploration, reading and writing.
Infused with an attitude to care and trained in early childhood development, the creche Didis of Mobile Creches are the true mascots of TLC - tender, loving care.

Mobile Creches is a beacon of hope for poor working parents who leave their children here for 8 hours, 6 days a week, when they are away at work.
