Benefits of Child Care in Relation to Child Development
Childcare Helps Make Children Better Communicators
- ♡ Childcare provides the benefit of socialization where children can learn and grow with children their age.
- ♡ While in childcare, children are stimulated by others and develop social skills through daily experiences and activities.
- ♡ Care-a-lot introduces American Sign Language to toddlers and infants so they can learn to communicate before learning to speak.
Provide a Great Deal of Resources
- ♡ Childcare centers offer a wide array of toys, manipulatives, games, gross motor equipment and more.
- ♡ Here at Care-a-lot we offer enrichment providers such as; dance, computers, tae-kwan-doe, and more!
- ♡ Our centers are also filled with experienced and professionally trained teachers that offer their knowledge and training resources to parents regarding their children(s) behavior and development.
Childcare Prepares Children for School
- ♡ Childcare helps prepare children for school in more ways than just one. The first being, having the childcare experience makes the transition from childcare to school much easier on the child and the parents. In many studies it has been found that children who attend formal childcare programs had strong reading, math, and social skills compared to children who attended informal, home based care programs.
- ♡ Not only does childcare prepare children for their early years of school, but it has also been proven that children who attended childcare are more likely to go on to earn college degrees!
Stability
- ♡ Childcare centers maintain regular hours and reliable environments, which can offer stability for busy parents and give an added peace of mind.
- ♡ The benefit of stability doesn’t end there, here at Care-a-lot we have teachers who have been with the company for over two decades.
- ♡ Children in childcare will have the stability of a familiar teacher on a day to day basis and allow them to form special bonds and relationship which will only help hone their social development skills for the future.
Help to Introduce Healthier Foods to Children
- ♡ Care-a-lot offers a nutritious menu under CACFP (Child & Adult Care Food Program) guidelines that allows us to include breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack for all children (all prepared on-site in our kitchen).
