For quality child care support to be provided to your child, the program needs to be complete and convenient. It has to be accessible and the objectives should align well with your budget. The decision should be taken primarily based on your child's safety, health, and learning. Childcare acts like a safety net especially when your child is ready to start his school taking his very first steps into formal education. Child care will set up the foundation of learning and skill development which will also pave the way for building the right attitude among children. The below steps will help determine a quality child care centre: 1. School Readiness Many research studies have indicated that the performance of a child shows remarkable improvement in subjects like math, language, social skills, and even in building interpersonal relationships if a child has been enrolled in childcare before starting school. This happens because the child starts understanding the role of teachers and adjusting with peers way earlier. 2. Brain and Skill Development The primary age group of the child i.e. 0-5 years of bracket formulates one of the most crucial as well as sensitive for brain development. Why so? A study answers that aptly as 91% of brain growth happens during this period. The educators working with the child care services will constantly monitor your child's behavioral patterns and will ensure that good habits get instilled. This will help shape your child's overall mindset. 3. Win-Win Situation Everyone associated with a high-quality child care centre benefits. As a parent, you can be as relaxed as possible knowing your child is in a safe learning environment. This way you can focus on your day job or any other tasks at hand. Meanwhile, your kid will engage in learning new things along with their peers and will start adjusting to the ways of the world. This way, it becomes mutually advantageous while the productivity is at its maximum growth. This is a great start to the child's education and wellbeing. 4. Technologically Enabled The new-age child care is technologically advanced and well built.

Pre-school is the first stepping stone in a child’s growth journey. This is one of the most exciting periods of any parents’ life; however, it turns out to be equally draining and stressful too. The most important decision comes in terms of choosing the right school. For the first time your child is going to be alone at a new place without your protective embrace. This obviously makes for an emotional stressor. So it is not only a new chapter in your child’s life but also every parent’s. Below are a few tips to prepare your child for pre-school: 1. The concept of school should be introduced well before in advance to the child. Essentially, it should be embedded in their psyche so that it doesn’t become a shock for them when it happens. 2. There’s a lot of research that goes behind choosing the right school and every parent must spend thorough time in doing so. The school’s record, reviews, testimonials, location, infrastructure as well as a general word of mouth; all play a very big role. 3. The internet can only be a gateway for research but it is fairly vital for parents to visit the actual campuses before zeroing in on any one of the options. Spend enough time there, learn about their security system, and try to learn about the environment to ensure you will be making the correct choice for your child. 4. These visits in person should not be done just once. Visit in consecutive weeks and revisit for any affirmation. The schools that are empathetic in approach will not find your visits intrusive. That will also help you make the correct decision. 5. The decision needs to be taken by both mother and father together. You should brainstorm and spend as much time as you need before reaching any conclusion. Once you do, leave it open-ended for a few days. And after a while if the choice still seems the most apt then go for it. 6. As you have grown acquainted with the chosen school’s premises, it is essential for your child to become familiar with the place too. You should take your children to school premises many times. Introduce them to the principal and teachers; especially class teachers and other staff members who would be interacting with theem. Show them around and detail the advantages like the classroom atmosphere, new friends they would be making, playground, recreation activities, etc. The need for doing this is because the child’s transition to starting a school journey has to be smooth and that is only possible if they develop a certain interest. 7. After such visitations, you should try and open a dialogue with your kid. Try to know their reaction, thoughts. How they felt about the place. If they felt comfortable or not. If not, try to know the reason and help them with that. 8. The feeling of fear will arise. In your mind as well as in your child’s mind. So it is very important that one can identify this fear and work on it. Decisions should never be made hastily. 9. Grandparents, personal stories and books will play a major role in this phase. This will provide comfort for your child and they will be able to freely express and understand their thought process. It will help prepare them for a good time to come. 10. Books and stationery should be bought well in advance; introduce your child to its use and importance. Stories or poems can be read to them from the curriculum books. This will help them in adjusting to the new atmosphere. While doing all this and more, always know that it is okay to feel scared or confused. It is okay because it is a decision you are making for the most precious person in your world. So always be open to seek help.
