No mother wants to leave their infant with just anybody, which is why it has become ever more important for parents to make good choices about childcare for their child. Below are 3 important tips to consider when choosing a quality childcare.
1. Establishing an Attachment
1. Establishing an Attachment
Without a doubt the infant’s parents are his primary caregivers, but so is the person you choose for your childcare arrangements. Establishing an attachment is the bedrock for all other forms of development, such as: healthy personality, social and emotional development, as well as the language and cognitive development in early years.
2. Maintaining Continuity
2. Maintaining Continuity
This is repeated experiences with the same person or people over time – which is a quality that you want to see in childcare. It is important to find out whether the caregivers have had longevity where they practice childcare.
3. Ordering Your Priorities
A caregiver who practices responsive care will have questions about feeding and sleeping schedules indicating that your child’s individual needs will be the driving force behind a personal schedule in the early months, and later individualized planning will support children’s and family needs.
Caregivers who are knowledgeable about child development understand they are more than just babysitters. They see how their childcare interactions not only support a sense of trust but also implement practices needed for early brain development. Don’t rush into choosing your infants childcare, take the time to assess the emotional climate and relationships in the places you consider for your baby’s care.
