Signs of A Good Day Care Centre

Finding a formalized home (read: Day Care Centre) that boasts a specialized understanding of the importance of formative years of a child can be quite a task! Necessarily, the Day Care Centre for kids should realize the intrinsic aspect of the subtle changes a child undergoes in his/her initial years. Hence, these institutions should ideally be an important extension to the family where the kids would come to play and learn together.

It is important to look for a center that prioritizes care above education. The centre should employ a curriculum that is developmentally appropriate for the child, yet challenging. There should be integral disciplinary policies that will foster the overall development of your child, within a comfortable and homely environment. This is necessary for promoting child’s holistic growth and meeting his/her needs of physical, emotional and cultural needs, along with academics.

Choosing a daycare center for your child involves asking plenty of questions and of course, being observant. Some of the fundamental factors that should be rightly addressed are facility of the centre, the infrastructure, nutrition and hygiene and safety measures undertaken by the authority. In this post, we will discuss some of the essential signs that attest the quality of good day care centre for kids.

Reputation

A good daycare center needs to have a warm and welcoming ambiance along with a nurturing environment. You can always ask the center for names and numbers of current clients and call them for references, or stop by during the pickup time and approach some other parents there.

One of the established ground rules here is to find out whether the center is flexible. This means, you have to check whether the centre offers pick up and drop facility for your child at different times. Essentially, the centre should have established regulations for everything, from operating hours to the ways to handle emergencies.

Facilities

This one of the most important prerequisites of a good day care centre. The reputation of a centre largely depends on the kind of facilities it boast! The centre, apart from being supervised by experienced teachers and facilitators need to have some other carefully planned facilities. The activity area for the kids, the classrooms, meal room and library should preferably be airy and spacious, making way for generous amount of natural light. The room for the infants should have generous space, allowing the little ones to take naps and crawl around.

The entire infrastructure of the centre should fulfill the requisites of creating the ‘home-away-from-home’ feel and should have enough space for individual and group participation of each child. Having a resting-space and dormitories are also necessary. The bathing spaces for children need to be extremely hygienic. Preferably, the centres should have lounge for toddlers that would replicate the look and feel of a living room.

Apart from these, the centre should also have a dedicated space for the grown-ups (5-6years old) where they can complete their school assignments or projects or simply sit down with a book. A settling room, well-stocked library and auditorium are the other elementary facilities of a Day Care Center.

Curriculum Activities

Creative curriculum activities stimulates child’s development and makes daily life more fun. A good day care center should have structured schedules that include plenty of time for physical activity, creative sessions, age-appropriate reading sessions and a gamut of group programs, individual activities wherein children will play and learn in tandem. Do look out for the centres that are inspired by our nation’s rich indigenous culture of care and education and carry out unique sessions of pottery, theater, puppetry and yoga! The bottom line is to find your child a place that offers a regular curriculum with a range of age-appropriate activities.
