CA Technologies (NASDAQ: CA) today announced the opening of the CA Montessori Children’s Center at its India Technology Center in Hyderabad. The center, which opens with availability for 50 children initially, is the first-of-its-kind on campus child development center run by an IT company in India. The facility’s Montessori-trained teachers are full-time CA Technologies employees.

“CA Technologies is committed to being an employer of choice. Our employees are our most critical assets. Providing them with a supportive environment helps improve their innovation and focus,” said Sakaar Anand, vice president, HR India, CA Technologies. “The opening of this Montessori Children’s Center is another step towards our goal of being a family-friendly place to work. As a socially responsible company, the center aspires to nurture responsible citizens of tomorrow.”

The center will cater to children from six weeks through six years of age categorized into three, age-appropriate groups that include:

  • NIDO (The Nest): offers children 6 weeks to 18 months old a cozy, loving and home like environment
  • Children’s Community: involves children 18 – 36 months old in everyday activities like language activities, caring for their environment, dressing and more.
  • Primary Room: designed for children ages 36 – 60 months to help build confidence and self-esteem, and introduce them to language, math, science and geography.
CA’s Montessori Children’s Center follows the philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori, which is based upon the belief that education is more than just a search for intellectual skills; it is a preparation for life - focusing on emotional, intellectual and physical development.

CA operates the centers in seven offices around the world: five in the US, one in the UK, and in Australia. The largest one is located in Islandia, New York, USA.

“Research shows that quality early childhood education truly makes a difference and sets learning patterns for life,” said Lisa Mars, vice president, Global Benefits, CA Technologies. “I’m excited that CA is a role model for early childhood education around the world, and that even more children have the chance to benefit from our program.”

CA Technologies employees have responded with overwhelming enthusiasm to the opening of the center. Ashwini Parage, senior team lead, Development says: “Being a working mother, I am always wondering if my child is getting the right care and enrichment. The opening of the CA Montessori Children’s Center means a world -class child development program for my son and peace of mind for me -- both on the personal, as well as professional front.”
