Parents opt for daycare centres as help is not at hand


Back-up plan: With maids becoming a scarce commodity, more are turning to childcare centres

PETALING JAYA: The decline in the number – and the rising cost – of domestic maids has forced more young, working parents to send their children to daycare centres.

Chris Hong, who runs two kindergartens-cum-daycare centres in Subang Jaya, said she and her staff looked after 40 to 50 children from 8am to 7pm daily.
