Helpman-Kids-Lounge: A new place for family and fun in Zella-Mehlis!

In the DRK senior park in Zella-Mehlis, something exciting has changed: the Helpman-Kids lounge was opened and is a real game dream for the children of the employees. Sebastian Wächter, the CEO 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 they should accommodate their offspring when the kindergarten has closed," said Wächter. With the new lounge there is finally a solution: the employees can simply bring their children to work without having to worry about their care. Insuedthueringen.de reports that…

The Helpman Kids Lounge offers a fabulous equipment: board games, a table football, cozy bean bags, a desk and even a large television with a PlayStation 5 are part of the offer. In addition, a tonie box with radio plays as well as various books and paint books are part of the equipment. Here the little ones can not only play, but also do handicrafts, 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 day care centers or during the holidays. drk-suhl.de adds that…

interaction and interdisciplinary exchange

Another gratifying feature of the Kids lounge is to promote the exchange between the children and the residents of the retirement home. Planned reading hours and joint games strengthen the social community and enable children to experience the values of help and cohesion. This cross -generational interaction brings a breath of fresh air to the senior park and has a positive effect on everyone present.

The mascot of the German Red Cross inspired the name "Helpman", which underlines the basic values of the project. The added value of the lounge extends far beyond the pure childcare and enriches the life of the residents, the children and the employees alike.

compatibility of family and work

The need for such facilities is undisputed today. Many parents face the challenge of reconciling work and family. The family environment and the support offers play a central role. Whether financial security, family -friendly working conditions or qualitative childcare - all of these aspects are crucial when it comes to facilitating the return to work.

With flexible working time models and the possibility of teleworking, many companies today offer solutions to further promote family friendliness. The use of company kindergartens and similar training courses in parental leave are also crucial to support mothers and fathers in reconciling work and family.

The Helpman Kids Lounge is not just a room for fun and fun-it is an important step in the right direction for a family-friendly working environment. The DRK district association thus shows a good hand and sets new standards for the combination of professional life and everyday family life.
