Investigation of Child Care Options
For this report I decided to do research on the Lipton Corporate Child Care Center, which is located in White Plains NY. I learned about this center through applying for a teaching position that they had available and within two weeks I was allowed to work for the center part time. While working this past week I was able to find out important information for parents who are interested in this Child Care Center.
The Lipton Center is a corporate based company which only allows specific corporate companies to advertise their child care center through use of that company's human resource office. For example, the Heineken company advertises
to their workers ( who have children) through e-mails or bulletin boards about the Lipton Center with permission from the center. If a parent wanted to find out more about the Lipton Center, there are numbers available for different sites and different states, there are centers all over the Tri State area, including Philadelphia, New Jersey, Virgina, and Washingtion DC. Usually parents will notify their Human Resource office about their interest in the center and the office will set up a meeting at the specific location in which the parent requested. If a parent was interested in the White Plains location, they would be meeting with Rebecca Rosenberg where she would discuss all the available options that would accommodation the parents and the child.

The older the child is the less costly it becomes, for example if a child is over 37 months, it is $232 dollars for 3 days a week, the additional cost for extra days would be $0 dollars. Before the parents can have the center care for their child, they first must pay a one time registration fee and fill out a registration packet which includes a photo of the child and requires a yearly medical exam form to be filled out by the child's doctor.
The Lipton child care program includes: drop off at 8 am/ 6 pm pick up, light snacks every 3 hours, nap time, diaper change every 2 hours, arts and crafts, and out door activities. You will find a newly designed...
