Day Care Centres for the Government departments

All Dubai government departments employing a significant number of female employees with young children will have to offer day care service under a government programme to be enforced by the end of April, Gulf News has learned.
Spearheaded by the president of the Dubai Women's Establishment, Shaikha Manal Bint Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the programme has been approved by the Executive Council.

A survey was conducted and was established that 30 per cent of women quit their jobs when they have children because they don't have access to child care centres.

The Executive Council will officially announce the required measures in April and it will be enforced by the end of the month.
The day care centres will be designed to cater to children up to the age of three, and will also have an educational function, like pre-schools.
