What is the advantage of childcare ?

Answer 1

Their are a few advantages to childcare, but choose wisely. Make sure you get someone that went to college for early childhood education if you are hiring a nanny or babysitter; if you are choosing a daycare, most of them already require it. We (I'm an early childhood specialist) are trained in child development, child nutrition, child safety, we are first aid and cpr certified. Therefore we are very qualified to take care of your children. Make sure you get someone w/ experience. I reccommend a nanny or in home daycare setting over a big daycare b/c they usually have less children to take care of so your child gets more 1 on 1 care. Plus if its in a home, the children can adapt more easily and its more laid back and not as strict. In a daycare, the teachers have to make out lessons plans (even for infants) a wk. ahead of time, submit them, post them, and follow through w/ them. Yes they get free time there but most of it is spent outside. If you like structure for your little one, put him/her in daycare; if you like more free time w/ a little structure put him in a in home daycare. If you want your little one to have lots of attention then hire a nanny. So, it depends on what kind of structure you are looking for really. Just make sure they are qualified. You don't want some teenager that gabs on the phone or watches tv while your kid entertains himself. Although, if you don't need the income, go ahead and stay home w/ him for a little while longer, he'll be in school someday and you'll miss having him there all the time. But you didn't ask whether to stay home, you asked about childcare.

Answer 2

There is a lot of advantages in childcare centre
1) I can continued to work and also earned some milk
powder money for the kids.

2) The kids are exposed to teachers and classmates at a
young age thus they will not be afraid of them when they
get into primary school.

3) They get to interact with children of all ages.

4) They tend to learned and know more things than those
who stay at home.

My 2 two kids (4 & 3) start their childcare at 18 mths and 24 mths respectively. Now my son who is 4 know how to write his name and can recorganised A-Z and 1-15. he can't write his Chinese name but he know and wirte some simple chinese letters. For my girl who is 3, i regret sending her to the centre late when she is 24 mths old.She learned things slower than her brother. But it is ok, she still have 3 more years to go through at the childcare. She will gradually learned more.

Answer 3

Social interaction and preparing for school. Your child should become more outgoing and sociable instead of being introverted. Your child will also develop natural immunities to many illnesses before he or she is school age by being exposed to more germs. This may not sound like a plus, but it is. You don't want a child raised in a plastic bubble. Also, you get more time for YOU. Now, I'm just saying all of these are some of the advantages I can think of. I'm not saying that it's the best choice or the only choice or the choice that you should make. Only you can make that decision, but I don't think that you should feel at all guilty no matter which decision you make.

Answer 4

the kid will get some interaction besides within the family and gain more socials skills such as sharing and playing with new children. A little bit of childcare is a good thing because it gives them the variety of experience. The child would also grow up a bit more independent instead of unhealthly clinging to a parent.

Also, as strange as it sounds I think it teaches the child the value of the parent. I remember when I was little, when I saw my mother after 5pm I was so happy and greatful that she was there. In some odd way it taught me the value of my mother, perhaps made me love her more, and when I got older, it made me respect her more.

Answer 5

It helps to Socialize your child so that they can learn to deal with other children, learn to share, reason, etc. Only-children who are not around other children sometimes don't learn how to behave around/with other children...Childcare helps them and you...you can sometimes have a little time to yourself on those rare days when you might get off work a few hours before picking them up. It helps, but if you're in a position to avoid the expense of it, just take your child around other family children or friends, neighbors to socialize them and save your dough. If you have no choice, enjoy the benefits of it. Hopefully you'll get a daycare lady that you and your child really like (I was lucky, at the 2nd daycare--the first chic and her daughter's set up were a nightmare!). Good Luck!

Answer 6

i'm not a fan of daycare settings. my boy has a nanny and he just began preschool last tuesday. it's going well. he will attend twice a week and next semester i plan to enroll him the entire week. hispreschool is actually a laboratory at a college. besides the director and the teachers are several students working on a degree. the ratio is 1 to 3! fantastic.

i may have to settle for daycare, though. my nanny is due to deliver a child in november and i cannot find help for the three days a week. we were to reinstate in january, but again, i will go full time to the preschool instead.

Answer 7

Whether it’s learning music, brushing up on their art, mastering karate kicks or just getting on with some quiet study - there’s loads that kids can get out of childcare.

It’s a great way for them to develop new skills and talents through learning and playing with other children in a well-organised, safe and structured environment. And by freeing up your time, it gives you lots of options too – you could be getting back to work, developing your career or studying.

Answer 8

It gives you time to yourself, for either chores, or work. It also gets the child ready to be separated from you to prepare them for school. It does help them socially, because children are differant when their parents aren't around, and learn to express their feelings towards other people without relying on mum or dad. I think it's a good idea to put them in one day a week when they are about 3 even if you don't need to. My son is an ony child, and it taught him so much. He learnt social skills they aren't the same as when they are with you.

Answer 9

You are able to work and make money for your family...but then you'll have to pay for childcare.

Answer 10

I don't like day care centers. Too many kids and too many illnesses. My son was born at 29 weeks and if he had to attend daycare he would have had to spend more time in the hospital. I have a couple of nanny jobs so my son gets to have playmates but not exposed to several snotty (Sniffling) children.
