    For working parents, childcare is never a one-size problem. Some weeks you need an extra hour after work; some weeks a full nine-to-half-past-four day; some weeks nothing at all. The hard part is finding care that bends around your real life instead of forcing you into a rigid slot — and that does more than park your child in front of a television.

    This page helps you figure out exactly what your family needs. Take the quick quiz, compare flexible plans, check whether transport support can work for your route, and see what a screen-free, genuinely enriching daycare day looks like at Little Lumos.

    Use the interactive tools on this page to:

    • Answer seven quick questions to find the plan that fits your week
    • Compare hourly, monthly, and custom-mix daycare options
    • See what every daycare day includes beyond simple supervision
    • Check transport facility availability on selected Kakinada routes
    • Walk through the eight gentle phases of a Little Lumos day
    • Get clear answers on hours, meals, naps, transport, and updates

    Little Lumos Daycare in Siddharth Nagar, Kakinada is open Monday to Saturday, 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with the same Reggio Emilia trained educators who run our preschool. Pay by the hour, by the month, or mix both — and ask our team about optional transport facility on selected routes when your work life needs that extra support.

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

    Custom mix

    Built around your real life
