Question

Daycare as a good or bad learing method for kids????My sister-in-law, doesn't want for her kid to go to daycare she is scared for all the things that come out on TV (abuses & all that)...
I have a 6 & 2 yrs old and they both have gone to the same daycare my oldest started when she was 2 & the other one when he was 4moths & I have never had any problems they are very social and I have notice they learn more than spending all day at home, he is talking more, he like to play, sign, eat by himself he is llearning to potty train ... My nephew is 6 months older than my boy & he verly talks & he is more shy & always with mom & doesn't want to share anything with other kids.I beileve that day cares in a way are good for kids but of course it is always best to be cared by mom... but at least a part time daycare will be fine ....Do you think daycare's are not good fot kids!!!

Answer 1

For me, daycare was not an option but a necessity as I have to work, and we don't have other family to take care of them.

That not being the case, the next best thing was to choose a GOOD daycare. I also drop by occasionally at different times of the day to see how they are doing and how they are being treated.

Answer 2

Hey all day cares are not the same. If your kids are happy, well adjusted and social and you are able to pop in the place any time and check it out and it is clean and the people there are nice and you feel good about it I am all for it. I won't judge anyone who uses daycare, most of us aren't lucky enough to have family around to take care of our children so, anyone that does is blessed and needs to stop being hard on others who don't. Also, family has been known to abuse their children and grandchildren too because of stress or whatever. So, if you can afford a decent place and your children are well rounded that's Great. If someone else chooses to stay home with their children that's Great too. Stop judging!!!! It's all good if everyone is good and if they are bad people, parents or caregivers then they are bad. It makes no difference if you're related or not!

Answer 3

I would NEVER put my daughters in daycare. They are with their grandmother while I work during the day. My oldest is 29 months and I have to say she's very social for her age. My kids go to church 2 or 3 times a week though, depending the mood. My oldest is potty trained, knows how to behave (manners) , sings, talks, knows her colors, abc's, can count to 10, all that good stuff. I think it depends on the parent and not the daycare that the kids are in. My kids are too precious to me to take any kind of risk with having a stranger look after them.

Answer 4

I think daycare is good for kids. I think it socializes them at a young age and prepares them for school. I also agree that most day-cares teach the kids things. I would be more concerned leaving my kid in a home daycare rather than a public one. Home day-cares are all different and I have seen way too many people just leave the kids to play while they tend to their housework. That said, I want to stay home and raise my son because I don't want other people should be doing it for me. If I had to go to work, I would definitely put him in a daycare.

Answer 5

I am a stay at home grandmother who keeps 4 of my 6 grandchildren. I do this because I have custody of 2 of them and the mother of the other 2 would rather have a family member watch them then someone she does not know.

I see both sides of the coin. I am not qualified to tech these young people some of the things they will need to know to start school in a couple of years, so when they are older I will enroll my 2 in a pre school facility.
I will not do it until they are old enough to communicate very well with me because I also am afraid of what can happen to them when they are not with me.

I don't think either side is right or wrong, I just think we all look at things differently.

Answer 6

Just a thought.... i am a mother of two 5 and 2. i have been a stay at home mother for a little while, but i have also worked. i really think that if you can find the right child care facility that it benefits the child in social recognition, and structure....routine. Most children learn through play and structured things. reading and what not. I have worked with children along time and believe that kids need that type of atmosphere to help them get ready for future schooling etc. just a thought

Answer 7

Whenever possible, children should be raised by/cared for by their family (preferably mom and dad) and not placed in daycare. Day care is for people who have to work. If she is able to be at home with her child, then that is where the child belongs. Children learn a lot of bad habits in daycare and are exposed to more germs. Children who are at home can be taught by their parents in the way that the parents see fit. Children who do not go to daycare can be socialized in other ways (playgroups, park dates, classes at zoo or museum, library story times, etc.).

Answer 8

I'm sure that daycare has it's pro's and con's. However I had a very bad experience with my daughter not being watched and bitten by a much older child, and no one ever heard her cry. So now the only people who watch my daughter are me, my husband, her grandma's and my two sister in laws. If you have found a good daycare and you know htat it is good, stick with it. But not all daycare's are as responsible with your children as you are!

Answer 9

i think daycare is good for kids because it prepares them in many ways before starting school. they will get to socialize with other children and learn to do different things like sharing and various tasks to assist others. its better that they start being around children and a different environment at a younger age instead of just tossing them into school thinking they will be fine. daycare benefits both you and the child.

Answer 10

I don't believe in daycare. I don't think it's very fair to your children to have someone else raise them. You can never be 100% sure about daycares and the workers there and I would never risk it. I don't believe in it..I agree with your sister-in-law. It's too risky these days.
