Helping Children Learn to Excel
While They Feel At Home
Below are just some of the benefits for putting your child into childcare at an early age:
-
Less emotional problems
Kids in childcare whose mothers are depressed are less likely to have their own emotional problems, separation anxiety and social withdrawal symptoms.
-
A bigger brain
Studies show that children who are in childcare early on have higher intellectual abilities; especially because they have opportunities for observation, parallel play and socialisation.
-
An opportunity to grow
A quality childcare program can spell success in the future – especially places where the kids are given enough learning and socialisation opportunities, stimulation, and affection. Due to kids getting used to a schedule and routine, the transition will be easier when school starts.
-
Less colds later on
According to a study in the journal JAMA Paediatrics, children who were in large childcare groups before 2 and half years of age had more respiratory and ear infections. They were however, sick less often during primary and high school than children who were cared for at home.
-
Better behaviour
One of the biggest benefits of childcare is socialisation. Kids have to learn how to share, solve problems and be team players. At a well-run program with educators who have a strong education background, kids learn to use their voices to solve conflicts.
