home or not?

Question

do u think that being at home benifits children more or should i send her to daycare for better experience???

not sure which is better for her

Answer 1

Most daycares (at least any reputable ones) will let you stay as long as you want or drop in any time to check on your child.
I think sending a child to day care for maybe 2 or 3 hours 2 or 3 times a week to see how she does is a good idea. Social interaction for the child, and if it is your first child you get a few hours a week off to do what you need to do, and overcome a little of the separation for you and her before she has to go to school are some of the benefits. You can meet other parents with kids around your child's age and form networks for playdates outside of daycare. But you can drop in and make sure she is okay anytime you want.

Answer 2

It is good to send your child to daycare. Your child can learn more from other children. Check the daycare out first before you put your child in the daycare. You can also continue to spend time with your child and teach your child. Your child can benefit from both day care and parents.

i kept my daughter home , used no daycare, then i homeschooled her for preschool and kindergarten,,,, she had activities like library group, dance class,, and in one area there was even a well organized homeschool group that held weekly play dates at the park, and monthly activities ,,,,,,,so i think it depends on the effort you are willing to make, as to which is a better experience,,,,,,, for any age child,,,,,, homeschool/homecare can give the child special attention, let them advance at their own rate,,,, and prevents alot of illnesses they would pick up from the daycare environment,,,,,
my decison to homeschool was based on several things, first i think children love learning threw play and are capable of learning alot in the very early years,,,,, so my daughter was advanced for her age,,, by 3 years old,, also there were poor school districts in the areas we moved with husbands work,,,,, and finally, i just wasnt ready to turn her over to anyone else at that young age,,,,,,

Answer 4

well I'm a stay at home mum. I send my daughter who is 2 1\2 to kindy 2 days a week while she at home for the rest. It is best that they do venture out to kindy to socialise with other children. They will learn more words, my activities and more friends. You will find that the child will be more happy and content.

Answer 5

Being at home is better.

Studies prove that children gain nothing from day care or preschool. And in most cases it harms their social and emotional development.

Being home, and having her in play groups where she can play from time to time is a nice idea. Or taking in a child of the same age for a little extra money each week is a great way to get her some social skills.

But from now until school, what she really needs is mom teaching her how to play, learn, live, and interact. Not an institution.

Answer 6

Preschool or prekindergarten (in my area kids have to be tested at three and if they don't pass they have to go to prekindergarten) can definitely be an advantage. No only do they learn some social skills like sharing, but learn the basics about number, abc, etc. It is also less traumatic than throwing them into school when they have never be separated from their mother.

Answer 7

I am a stay at home mom and I feel that it is better for my daughter however I have friends who have children about the same age as my daughter so we have playdates so that she can interact with other children.

Answer 8

well, it will make the transition to kindergarten easier they will be used to being away from mom and develope a trust that you will come back and get them.
plus she will be able to actively play with other children her own age, thats always good!!
