FAQs

Do you provide meals for the children?

Parents are requested to send all food, drinks, fruits and healthy snacks with their child, as each child has unique dietary needs and preferences.

Can I enroll any child from my family, for example a niece or a nephew?

Enrollment is only entitled to the children of LUMS faculty, staff, students, and alumni — in that specific order of priority. This includes children under the legal guardianship of eligible individuals. However, non-employees and non-students are not permitted to register their children at LUMS Daycare.

What do I need to send with my child?

Please send your child with food and drink, diapers (if applicable), an extra pair of clothes (weather appropriate) a pillow, a blanket, prescription medicine and any other item your child may need during the day.

Can my child opt out of the activities?

Participation in activities depends on your child’s health and comfort level on a given day. Our caregivers ensure that every child feels safe and supported — children are never forced to participate if they’re not feeling up to it.

Do you cater for children with special needs?

No. At present, LUMS Daycare is not equipped to cater to children with special needs. We recommend that parents seek specialized care centers that can provide the required support and facilities.

How can I request a change in my child’s registration type?

Requests for changing the registration type must be submitted at least 10 days before the desired change date. The HR Department will review the request and check for slot availability. If no slots are available, unfortunately, the request cannot be accommodated.

What should I do if I decide to withdraw my child from the daycare?

If you wish to withdraw your child from the Daycare Centre, you must provide the daycare administration with a written notice at least two weeks in advance. The notice should clearly mention the last date your child will be attending daycare. Please note that if two weeks’ notice is not provided, you will be charged for the two-week period.

What is the policy for canceling my child’s enrollment?

Daycare fees are billed on a subscription basis, not just enrollment. To cancel your child’s subscription, please send a cancellation email 15 days in advance. Charges will continue until proper notice is given.
