Positive Effects Of Childcare

Have you ever wondered if childcare could ever really affect a child or not? Or maybe even benefit the parents of the child/children? Walt Disney once stated, “Our greatest natural resource is the minds of our children.” Quality child care can offer a lifelong love of learning for children. Positive experiences in a child care center can have a significant impact on a child’s academic future and in all of their domains of development. Every child is special and unique and deserves the best start possible. Children’s health and social skills can last a lifetime if they are taught at early ages by parents, caregiver, and or child care providers. In a high-quality child care environment, child care providers work together to ensure

Research has proven that children who attend high quality child care improves self-development by promoting better behaviors as well as creating better relationships with others. Children in quality day care settings were more successful in developing relationships with peers and adults than children who received lower quality care. Children who felt close to their day care providers are usually more sociable through kindergarten than children who were not close with their day care providers or attended no type of child care. Playing with peers is essential to a child’s development of social skills. Playing can also teach children acceptable ways to resolve problems like taking turns, and ideas to help children have a positive play experience.

This helps them know what is going to happen next and gives a sense of security and belonging. Once they are settled into the structure and routine of the preschool classroom, it begins to build a solid framework for their future school career which will be much more structured and demanding routine. It also allows children to feel safe, and to develop a sense of real life works. Routines give children a sense of security and help them develop self-discipline. Parents have to realize that providing this type of environment at home is important also. If a child is taught routine and structure, when they older they will learn to be more independent by doing things for themselves. The child knows what to expect each day and when to expect it is important for all children but extremely important for special needs children. Activities that were once a struggle can become an easy transition when children know what’s happening. Helping children feel safe, ready to take on new challenges, and developmental tasks
