Helpman Kids Lounge: A new place for family and fun in Zella-Mehlis!
Something exciting has happened at the DRK Senior Citizens' Park in Zella-Mehlis: The Helpman Kids Lounge has been opened and is a real playground for the employees' children. Sebastian Waechter, the chairman of the DRK district association, explains that this initiative was created to help employees with small children. “Parents are often faced with the challenge of where to place their children when the kindergarten is closed,” says Waechter. With the new lounge there is finally a solution: employees can simply bring their children to work without having to worry about looking after them. insuedthueringen.de reports that ...
The Helpman Kids Lounge offers fabulous equipment: board games, a table football table, comfortable bean bags, a desk and even a large TV with a PlayStation 5 are part of the offer. The equipment also includes a Tonie Box with radio plays as well as various books and coloring books. Here the little ones can not only play, but also do crafts, paint or do their homework. The range of services aims to support the compatibility of work and family - especially during the closing times of regular daycare centers or during the holidays. drk-suhl.de adds that...
Interaction and cross-generational exchange
Another pleasing feature of the kids lounge is the promotion of interaction between the children and the residents of the retirement home. Planned reading times and shared games strengthen the sociable community and enable the children to experience the values of helping and solidarity. This cross-generational interaction brings a breath of fresh air to the senior park and has a positive effect on everyone present.
The German Red Cross mascot inspired the name “Helpman,” which underlines the project’s core values. The added value of the lounge extends far beyond mere childcare and enriches the lives of residents, children and employees alike.
Compatibility of family and work
The need for such facilities is undisputed today. Many parents are faced with the challenge of balancing work and family. The family environment and the care options play a central role. Whether financial security, family-friendly working conditions or quality childcare – all of these aspects are crucial when it comes to making it easier to return to work. familienportal.de shows that...
With flexible working time models and the option of teleworking, many companies now offer solutions to further promote family-friendliness. The use of company kindergartens and similar training courses during parental leave are also crucial to support mothers and fathers in balancing work and family.
The Helpman Kids Lounge is not just a space for fun and games – it is an important step in the right direction for a family-friendly working environment. The DRK district association is showing good hands and setting new standards for the combination of professional life and everyday family life.
