1. WHY CHOOSE DAYCARE
FOR YOUR CHILD?

2. Introduction
• When your child is very young, it can be a little shocking
and even a little nerve-wracking to consider sending them
away for any length of time at all.
• We are very protective of our children, and we always
want to make sure that they have the best care possible,
and that is why it is so important to consider what daycare
can do for them.
• If you are a little bit worried about sending your child off
on their own, there are a few key advantages that your
child can have in the right facility.

3. Increased Socialization
• When your child is at home, he or she interacts with you,
their other relatives and their siblings, if they have them.
• When you send them to the right care program, you will
find that their social world expands immensely.

4. Increased Socialization
• The sooner your expose your children to people beyond
their comfort zone, the more exploratory and curious they
will be.
• Children are inherently social creatures, and they will
benefit from learning more about people who are not in
their immediate family.

5. Educational Benefits
• It is important to remember that the right care program is
a lot more than a babysitter.
• While they look after your children, they will be teaching
them interesting things about the world around them.

6. Educational Benefits
• If you want to make sure that your child hits the ground
running when they get to kindergarten, you will discover
that they can benefit from learning lots of things in the
right care program.
• They will start to get comfortable with things like math,
colors and reading, and this can give them a real edge
over their peers.

7. Less Stressed Parents
• No matter how much you love your child and how much
you like to take care of them, you will find that you do
need some time to yourself.
• Parents often shortchange themselves and their children
when they insist on handling everything on their own.

8. Less Stressed Parents
• If you are someone who is very invested in making sure
that you are there for your child, remember that you need
to be full charged up yourself.
• This is something that can make a huge difference to your
active time with your offspring.
• Taking your child to daycare lets you do other things, and
at the end of the day, you will be far less stressed and far
more inclined to do active things with them.

9. Social Rules
• Your child will also learn how to play nicely with others at
the care program. Small children, especially those who
are raised with no siblings, often have issues with dealing
with their peers.
• They are not quite sure how to play with others, and they
often have a lot of trial and error to work through. When
you take your child to the right care program, they learn to
how to play well with others, which is a skill on its own.
• Take some time to think about what your child needs and
how the right daycare program can help them!
