Mission/Vision
Our vision is for all children to have a nurturing and happy childhood and our mission is to promote child-friendly sites; where every child living on a construction site is safe, healthy and educated, and able to enjoy their childhood.
 
Background
Our founder Mrs. Meera Mahadevan set up the first Mobile Creches in 1969 as a spontaneous response to the neglected children she saw on the site of Gandhi Centenary Exhibition, in Delhi. From that rudimentary shelter, the journey began towards gaining entry into other construction sites and ensuring basic minimum care for the children of the vast migrant labour force belonging to the poorest strata of the society. In 1972, a branch was set up in Mumbai called Mobile Creches, Mumbai. From the 1st April, 2007, we began separate operations as Mumbai Mobile Creches. This was for administrative simplicity.
 
Mrs. Mrinalini Kochar, President, was a High School teacher for over twenty five years, mostly at the Cathedral & John Connon School, Mumbai. After retiring from there, she joined the Mumbai branch of Mobile Creches, (now Mumbai Mobile Creches) where she has now been for over twenty years.

 An inspiration to her peers
Sunita (name changed to protect the identity of the individual) was in her tenth standard in school when she heard about an MMC daycare centre being opened in her locality. Once she completed Grade 10, she enrolled herself with the MMC teacher-training programme. She was the third generation of a family living inside the construction site. She, however, wanted more from life and played a major role in her family deciding to shift out of a site. Sunita has set an example for many young girls who are eager to experience life outside the construction site. Through the training, she gained immense knowledge on child development and growth. The training also gave her the exposure to learn about the work of other organisations. After completing her training she began working at an MMC centre as a pre-school teacher. Overcoming many challenges in her journey of six years with MMC, 25-year old Sunita has successfully displayed her potential in managing a class full of students, along with taking other responsibilities like handling the library programme in the different centres she was assigned to. After completing 6 years as a teacher at MMC, currently she is a junior trainer in the Bal Palika Teacher Training Course conducted by MMC.
 
 Investing in our most precious resource - children
Vivaria is a large construction site in Agripada, Mumbai, and about 120 children live with their families on the site. Six year old Parveen from Bihar was one such child. Parveen’s father is a labourer, her mother a domestic worker. Since both her parents worked, she looked after her two baby brothers. The little children had not been immunized or visited by any health care service government personnel. Not a single of the 120 children on the site were in school or had any health or education support. The MMC centre on the construction site transformed the lives of all the children. For the below 6s, we organized immunizations, doctor’s check ups and stimulation and care. Many saw toys for the first time! The centre helped all the older children who should have been in school to enroll in our non formal class and be brought up to speed so they could sit the municipal school’s entrance exam. Parveen was only one of the forty or so children placed in the bridge class. She could not read or write. The teachers also had to convince her parents allow her to go to school. In May 2009, she passed the exam and now regularly attends the municipal school. Parveen loves painting pictures and doing art and craft, she would like to be a teacher when she grows up. She is just one among forty children from this centre alone, and across our centres, nearly 400 children were supported in this manner. Because of the MMC centres, children not only are able to go to school, but our nutrition and health programme of a nutritious breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack every day, ensures their health and weigh improves.
