Effects of Daycare on Children
Ever since women entered the workforce, the great daycare debate has raged on.
Parents, scholars and politicians have argued the pros and cons of external childcare
facilities until families are absolutely certain placing their child in day care either
results in an infant prodigy or a teenage delinquent.
As with any issue, the truth has been found to be somewhere in between.
Day care can be a tremendous opportunity for a young child to learn social skills, expand their vocabulary and learn to function as an individual away from their parents.
Interaction with their peers allows them to develop a respect for the opinions and emotions of others, to learn the value of teamwork, and to form friendships that will often carry into their school years.
They are also given an opportunity to learn basic academic skills at an earlier age, and adapt to the more rigid structure of a classroom environment.
Kindergarten, is often a difficult transition for children who are kept at home in
their preschool years.
On the flip side of the coin, not all day care providers are able to give the high quality
of attention and education necessary for growth and development.
This is often due to an inadequate amount of staff for the number of children the
facility cares for.
The key to a positive day care experience is to carefully screen any day care before your
child is enrolled.
The school should have a low staff to child ratio, with one adult to every two or three children at the infant level, with a gradually rising in numbers as the child increases in age.
The teachers should display a genuine love for the children, with experience and training in child development and psychology, allowing them to quickly detect a problem, before it becomes uncontrollable.
Parents should remain in contact with the child's teacher, receiving progress reports and observing classroom behavior on a regular basis.
Any instance in which a parent is deliberately left "out of the loop" in their child's education, even at this early stage, is cause for concern. .
In this case, knowledge is power, and this allows a child to be quickly removed from an unsuitable situation before any harm is done.
