Choosing the Best Daycare Facility for Your Child

Written by:  Jamie

If you need someone else to take care of your baby while you are off to work, here are the things that you ought to know — from the pros and cons to the queries you should have and what you need to insist upon.

If you feel like considering to put your child into daycare is a terrifying notion, you are just one of many parents who are struggling in the same way. It truly is daunting especially if it is your first child. But if you are among the ranks of parents who needs to go to work to support his/her family, you are not alone. Some studies show that about only 30% of moms stay at home to care for their children. The rest have a busy schedule at work and just can’t stay at home to look after her child. Due to this massive demand, there are plenty of options to choose from — there are professional daycare brighton services, in-house nannies or family daycares. The better option is to probably avail of the services of a group center or a home daycare. These centers do excellent work in caring for children and are licensed and have the right training. The environments also offer a great experience for children where they can socialize with other kids that are as young as them. This article will tell you all the things you need to know about day care, from both the benefits and the downsides, questions you should ask them, and the requirements that you expect them to fulfill.

 

What are the kinds of daycare facilities?

Daycares are essentially establishments that where you can drop off your kids for a variable time with other kids that of different ages. You will have to options in choosing a daycare facility.

  • Group Daycare – These are business establishments that need to procure a license from the right government institution. To get a feel for it, these facilities are run the same way schools are with children group as they are grouped by grade levels. The owners are usually hands on in running the place. According to the latest estimate, 25% of parents of infants and toddlers choose these facilities.
  • Home Daycare – Unlike group daycare, these establishments are run right from the home of the business owner. He/she will often care for both her kids and her clients at the same time. It is not unusual for home daycares to have licenses and the right trainings but there are still plenty who do not.

 

Pros of Daycare

There are some benefits in choosing to let a professional daycare brighton care for your child.

  • Learning – Good daycare centers often offer to teach your toddler things that could help him grow in various aspects. Emotionally, these kids are often taught one-on-on by their caregiver where they are being spoken to eye to eye. The centers usually have a safe environment where they can run around and develop their bones and muscles. The centers may also offer programs where they will be taught lessons that they can later use to excel in school.
  • Continuous care – There are benefits to showing love to your child consistently and predictably. This can be done by choosing to have your child come to the same daycare from his/her infancy till later. These allows your child to feel a connection with their caregiver where they will develop a sense of security as they mature.
  • Friendship Building – Having your child socialize with other kids his/her age is crucial to his/her emotional development. Daycare centers who have kids of the same age as your child can give that to you.
  • Budget Friendly – Daycares will cost significantly less than hiring a nanny. Whilst you have to pay for a nannies salary which would vary depending on the qualifications of the nanny, what you have to pay for in a daycare is only the services which will be split among other parents.
  • Reliability – Since working parents will often have varying schedules, these centers are open the entire day to fit all their clients’ needs. These centers are often open for at least 12 hours during the day to allow parents to come drop their child at the earliest part of the day and pick them up much later.
  • Professional – Group daycare brighton knows the ins and outs of the business and hire only the best people they can find. They often employ multiple people to make sure that they will never be understaffed.
  • Focused – compared to group daycare, home daycare will have fewer children which are being taken care off meaning the attention will not be spread thin among the kids.

 

How to choose the right daycare

 

It is not always easy to decide which daycare center you are going to leave your child with. Depending where you live, it can take a while to do the proper research to pick the best one for you and your kid. The best time to start looking for one is a few months before the end of your maternity leave ends. It might even be a good idea to choose the daycare even while you are still pregnant. These are the steps you need to take to choose the best daycare.

 

  1. Do the research. Get as much word of mouth recommendations from any parent and pediatrician that you know. If you are new to the city, you might want to start chatting people that you meet in clinics and parks. You can also look at state run sites online to see a list of the available daycare centers in your area.
  2. Talk to them. The best way to get a feel for the daycare center other than being there yourself is to talk to them through the phone. Ask them all the questions that you ought to know rather than surprise you later.
  3. Go to the center yourself . Once you have limited your choices to the ones that you feel best about, you would want to go check these sites out yourself. Being there, you can inspect the minute details where your child is going to be spending a huge chunk of his/her day.
