Chennai city-based Amelio Childcare has inked a 5-year deal with CSC (Computer Sciences Corporation), a global IT Services company with over 20,000 employees in India, to set up an onsite childcare facility within the CSC campus at Madras Export Processing Zone in Tambaram.
Amelio provides high quality onsite child care solutions to IT/ ITES and BPO companies. Amelio Childcare will offer pre-school, day-care and post-school solutions initially to around 35 children, including infants aged between six months and one year. The Amelio childcare facility set up within MEPZ campus of CSC will have exclusive infant rooms, well-designed classrooms, CCTV systems to monitor the children, a centre-manager room, and a kitchenette.
Raghavan Jawahar, Director, Amelio Childcare, said, "The setting up of onsite childcare facility is expected to provide a lot of comfort and relief to working mothers allowing them to focus on work, and grow within the organisation."

Amelio will inculcate among these children the art of practicing ‘immersive learning’ through a theme- based approach exposing them to various age-appropriate activities in the process taking care of all aspects of a child’s early development, including physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and language.
According to Sridevi Raghavan, Co - Founder and CEO, Amelio Childcare, stand-alone childcare centers will continue to be a key focus area. However, onsite childcare facilities in partnership with large companies will be a growth driver in the future, she said. "We are currently in discussions with other leading IT and BPO companies to set up onsite childcare facilities," she added.
