4 Important factors to look for while choosing a Daycare?

Making decisions for your child as parents can entitle you to be cautious, to quibble and be watchful of your every move. So when it comes to letting your child be a part of the world without you in it like a daycare, it’s only natural to be particular about certain aspects. A daycare is not a mere shelter for your child when you have other responsibilities to tend to, but rather a catalyst in your child’s growth and development. So before your research fuelled by search engines take you over, here are a few factors that you can consider while admitting your child to a Daycare:

PROXIMITY
It starts with the basics. When you choose a daycare near you, either your residence or your office, the close proximity is not only convenient but emotionally settling as well. Knowing that your child is not out of your reach can tame your furrowed brows even when work hours are extended.

INFLUENCE
The ethos of the daycare is of paramount importance as their influence will reflect on your child. When you tour a prospective daycare, interact with the care-takers, the teachers and the other children present there. The more loving and caring they seem, the merrier. Since the emotional and mental enrichment they receive during that age, are instrumental in shaping their future well-being. Hence, choose a daycare, where the care-givers believe in giving personal attention and comply to the Adult Child Ratio of 1:4.

INCLUSIVITY
A daycare is where your child probably where your child experiences socialization for the first-time with other little ones. Although overwhelming in the beginning, it will equip your child to not only make more friends and playmates but will propel them to emote and express themselves, thus boosting their confidence.

SAFE & STIMULATING ENVIRONMENT
The physical environment, the infrastructure and the surroundings of the daycare need to be large, safe, airy and hygienic; as children learn by watching, interacting, and working within an organic and nurturing environment. A daycare with an eclectic approach to learning with activities like Arts & Crafts, Games, Story-telling, Lego and Sports will stimulate the child’s sensory awareness and fine motor skills.

Mentioned above are the various avenues of thought that you can keep in mind before you look for a daycare like kara4kids where all of the above factors are taken care of. With these aspects and other tailor-made requests in place, we hope you find a daycare that is the perfect haven for your child.
