Five things that children learn at the child care
Ella is already drinking from a cup, Tess plast has been on the pot for a week, Anne-Marie shares her toys and Fedde rolls on his stomach regularly; at the day care center children learn more than you think. It is a social playground where children practice for the great people world. The employees are loving and caring, but also stimulate skills that children need in the future to become independent and happy people. It is a learning school for later.
1. Making friends
Share the doll wagon, help clear the lunch table and quarrel and solve again. These are social skills that children need to make and keep friends. You develop these skills as you get older. Important for this is the contact with other children. And where do children have contact with each other very young? At a daycare. Research shows that people who have real friends around them and easily make friendships, are more likely to grow into happy and confident people. For these reasons our employees continuously stimulate this mutual contact.
2. Move well
You do not really think about it, but almost every movement you make, you have to learn. It is therefore important that the development of your motor skills is stimulated from the beginning. And this is something that our employees have learned for. With all kinds of exercise games and exercises they - together with you as a parent - ensure that your child rolls on his stomach and can drink from a cup himself. For example, Partou has its own activity program to stimulate the motor development of the children. 'These activities are composed with sports scientists and specially tailored to the age of the children,' says Marlies.
3. The process of learning
Cognitive development is also called the process of learning. At our daycare we stimulate this development in all sorts of ways. Driving over the table with a picture of a car and singing 'Little Red Car' is already a way. At the repetition of the song children do our employees and call Brrrrrmm! In this exercise the children store information, process it, retrieve it again and then apply it. In addition, many children are read aloud at the child care. This not only stimulates the fantasy, but children also come into contact with new words, learn faster what a word means and how they make sentences with it.
4. Special activities
Classical music for babies, a trip to the museum or petting zoo or a gift for daddy crafts. At the daycare we do all kinds of fun activities that you do not do at home so quickly. At Partou, every daycare also has its own music coach who often makes music with the children. Not only fun, but also good for the speech development of children.
5. Fine extras
There are also various practical things that children learn at the daycare. Skills that benefit you as a parent. This way, the employees help children to prepare for the primary school. Think of: putting on the coat yourself, opening a cup and a lunchbox, but also daring to take the turn in the group. In addition, the employees talk a lot with the children about school. At the daycare, they also pay attention to being toilet trained. At Partou, for example, we have small toilets with which we train children to become tidy. And where it is a fight for you if your child is not allowed to use his teat, it is normal to have none at the day care center. Still handy, such a daycare!
