1. Playing and learning together
At a day care center, your child is in a group with other children. Which is good for him, as he learns a lot from playing with other children. Among other things, he can train his social skills, such as having fun together, learning to share, standing up for yourself, waiting for your turn and being considerate of others.
2. Good for development
It is often thought that a day care is a place where children only play, sleep and eat. But there is a lot more going on. At a day care center, we also stimulate your child's motor, social and cognitive development in a playful way. Think of dancing and baby gym, group games and making music. By the way, did you know that every day care center is required to have a pedagogical work plan? You can always request this.
3. Encourage independence
Throwing rubbish in the trash, clearing the lunch table, coughing and sneezing into your elbow... The manners you teach your child at home are also covered at the day care. The pedagogical staff also take all the time they need to help your child become independent. Think of learning to drink from a cup or learning to put on his coat himself. And there is a really handy trick for that... You will find out!
4. Personal attention
Pedagogical staff are trained to see when and what form of attention a child needs. And they are happy to give that attention. After all, it is their profession and what they love about their job. In this way, they also quickly build a personal bond with your baby. You will notice that the pedagogical staff in your child's group are almost as proud as you are when your child takes his first steps or achieves another milestone. So there is a good chance that not only your child, but also you will say goodbye with tears in your eyes when it is time for primary school.
Open almost all year round
A practical point: most day care centres are open almost all year round on weekdays. Even during holidays. Convenient! This way you don't have to bend over backwards to bridge the summer holidays, for example. Of course, most day care centres are closed on national holidays.
