Choosing the right d daycare for f peace off mind i d Caregiving for the youngest members of society, babies and toddlers, is growing in scope and possibilities. In addition to a safe and nurturing environment, parents looking for daycare services may want much more for their child’s first crucial years of development. Once they decide what they want from a daycare, parents should shop around for the right place for their child. One of the best ways to find a daycare is by a referral from someone who is satisfied with their daycare provider. If that’s not possible, the community health unit may have lists of local daycare providers. Daycares can be public or privately owned. Parents
should visit a daycare in person to see the facilities, and ask about licences, daily routines, programs and activities for the children, snacks and meals, discipline and rewards policies, and how first aid and emergencies are handled. Is a trial period possible? Other parents who use a daycare can provide good feedback about the quality of services offered. If the daycare discourages such discussions between parents, this is a good sign to look elsewhere. Communication is an essential ingredient to monitoring the needs of the child. There should also be a good communications policy between parents and the child care provider.
Providing Excellence In Montessori Education Since 1988
Asking child care providers why they are working in this field, what they hope to accomplish with the children, and future career goals, will help parents decide if they’ve found a partner in their child’s education. The ratio of children per caregiver is also important to determine the level of supervision. Other questions could centre on outdoor activities, educational activities, and social interaction between younger and older children.
