CRECHE

Mercy College Creche

Mercy College, known for its academic excellence and value-based education for women, extends its social commitment beyond academics. The creche run under the Social Service League is one of several outreach efforts-along with counselling services, legal and social aid projects-demonstrating the college’s dedication to community welfare and holistic upliftment. A long-cherished dream of the Mercy Alumnae Association came true with the inauguration of the Crèche on 14th June 1976. To support working women and families in our community, we run a dedicated crèche facility-providing safe, affordable, and nurturing care for children from 6 months to six years of age.

Key features:
  • Supporting working mothers & families-Many women in and around Palakkad balance employment with childcare; our crèche offers them a dependable, caring environment for their children.
  • Community welfare & social responsibility-As part of our mission to serve society and foster human values, Mercy College extends services not just to students, but to the broader community.
  • Holistic growth for children -Our goal is to provide children with a warm, safe, and stimulating environment -ensuring holistic development from an early age.
