    Childcare That Bends Around Your Work Hours

    For working parents in Kakinada, childcare is rarely a fixed-shape problem. Some weeks you need an extra hour; some weeks a full day. This page helps you figure out exactly what your family needs — and shows how a flexible, screen-free daycare can take the pressure off without parking your child in front of a TV.

    Interactive quiz

    Is a Daycare Right for Your Family?

    1

    Do you (or your partner) work past midday on weekdays?

    2

    Is reliable family support for childcare hard to arrange day to day?

    3

    Do you want your child learning and playing, not just being minded?

    4

    Would a calm, predictable daily routine help your child settle?

    5

    Do your work hours shift week to week or occasionally run long?

    6

    Would supervised pick-up or drop support make your workday easier?

    7

    Three ways to design it

    Compare Daycare Plans

    Hourly extended care

    Pay only for hours you use

    Add an hour or two around the regular preschool slot whenever you need it. Ideal for shifting hours or work-from-home days.

    • Book by the hour, week by week
    • Combine with the preschool slot
    • Easy to add with short notice
    • Billed on actual hours used
    Most popular

    Monthly daycare plan

    Predictable hours and cost

    Fix a daily window — half, three-quarter, or full 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM — and pay one comfortable monthly fee.

    • Choose half, ¾, or full day
    • Same window every day
    • One predictable invoice
    • Sibling discount applies

    Custom mix

    Built around your real life

    Combine a monthly base with a few hourly top-ups for unpredictable weeks. We design the smallest plan that truly fits.

    • Monthly base + hourly top-ups
    • Switch plans with short notice
    • Documented in your fee letter
    • Reviewed if life changes

    More than minding

    Eight Phases of a Little Lumos Day

    The phases stay predictable; the activities change week to week. Your child stays only for the phases your chosen hours cover.

    01

    Welcome & settle-in

    Warm greetings and free play as children arrive.

    02

    Circle & atelier

    Songs, story circle, then a hands-on art or sensorial project.

    03

    Outdoor & snack

    Active play in safe zones, then a healthy snack with friends.

    04

    Lunch together

    Meal plan or home food, eaten calmly with adults alongside.

    05

    Quiet rest

    A genuine nap in the snuggle space with soft lights and music.

    06

    Afternoon explorations

    Books, blocks, music, art, or nature walks led by curiosity.

    07

    Evening wind-down

    Light snack, calm activities, and gentle tidy-up rituals.

    08

    Pick-up

    A short chat with your child's teacher about how the day went.
