"Scissors, stones, cloth..."
On a hot afternoon in August, the reporter heard a childish and happy "game sound" outside the party and masses' home on the third floor of Lingshi Company, a subsidiary of Jing'an Chengfa Group. Upon entering the door, he realized that it was a group of children of all sizes who were memorizing the position and operation techniques of the Heimlich emergency method using mnemonics. In this summer of 2023, Lingshi's "Love and Mutual Help Summer Care Class" has been running vigorously for over a month.
"Nurse Auntie used toy bears to teach us first aid for babies, it's so cool!" Xu Chuyao, the child, vividly described the scene of the first aid class to the reporter. He is the son of Xu Yonghuan, a staff member of the company's engineering department. After summer vacation, he could only stay at home with his eighth grade sister. Without adult care, not only was his learning efficiency not high, but he also had problems eating. The company has opened a summer daycare class, which saves the worries of Xu Yonghuan and his wife. The little one completes his homework on time every day under the supervision and guidance of the teacher. As a lively and outgoing person, he also makes many new friends in the summer daycare class.
Lingshi Company's main business includes cleaning and transportation of unclaimed road waste, construction and decoration waste, and medical waste. The employees have multiple job responsibilities and heavy work tasks, and taking care of children from many families during the summer vacation has become a troublesome task. Under the guidance and support of the District Federation of Trade Unions and Group Trade Unions, the company leverages the diversified advantages of the "Party Mass Home" service function and establishes a "Love Mutual Help Summer Care Class". The class is taken care of by company party members and volunteer members who actively join the party, effectively solving the problem of childcare for summer children in dual employee families.
Zhou Qingsheng, a construction and renovation waste removal driver, is a migrant worker who usually works alone in Shanghai. His daughter Zhou Xinyu lives with her grandparents in her hometown of Shandong. Summer vacation has arrived, and Old Zhou not only wants to bring his daughter to Shanghai for a reunion, but also worries that he will have to work during the day and it will be unsafe for his child to stay at home alone. After learning that the company had a summer daycare program, Zhou Qingsheng was overjoyed and brought his daughter to Shanghai. During the day, he brought his child to work together, and at night, the father and daughter would exchange their learning experiences at the summer daycare program. "Xinyu has undergone significant changes. When she first arrived, she was a bit shy and often played alone. She didn't communicate much with other children. After a week or two, she gradually became more outgoing and even took the initiative to interact with teachers!" Old Zhou happily introduced to reporters.
According to Lingshi Company, the summer daycare class offers a wide range of courses, including not only academic tutoring, but also calligraphy, handicraft, hosting, anti fraud propaganda, first aid knowledge, and other courses. Some police officers and nurses have also been invited to become "off duty teachers", striving to provide children with a colorful summer life. Currently, 6 to 10 children enjoy a happy summer vacation in summer daycare classes every working day. To ensure the safety of children, the company has installed protective covers on all sockets of the "Party and Mass Home", wrapped the corners of tables, chairs, and benches, and dealt with safety hazards in the corridors.
In addition to indoor teaching, the summer daycare class also organizes children and parents to visit and learn revolutionary education and cultural heritage sites in the city, such as the Exhibition Hall of the former site of the Chinese Labor Union Secretariat and the Shanghai Natural History Museum, which not only increases knowledge but also enhances parent-child interaction. "Some children who usually study and live in other places take the opportunity of summer daycare classes to take them to Shanghai for a walk and see, so that they can understand and fall in love with Shanghai!" Feng Ting, Secretary of the Party Branch and General Manager of Lingshi Company, told reporters.
