DAY CARE CENTRES"DAY CARE CENTRES OR CRECHES"
Crèches or day care centres are regarded by most parents as just a place where our babies and toddlers are kept while we go to work. Most parents do not think much of the skills and development that these centres offer our children. According to experts in childhood education, children start learning and developing their learning, language, vocabulary and even numeracy skills right from the moment of their birth. Good day care centres/crèches with qualified early childhood teachers recognize this development and do age-suitable activities to develop children as early as 2 months. CHOOSING A CRECHE/DAY CAREHOW TO CHOOSE A DAYCARE CENTRE: FACTORS TO CONSIDERWhen you choose a crèche, make sure to choose one that goes beyond child-minding or nanny-service, and look out for one that would stimulate your child’s motor, sensory and cognitive development, to get him or her ready for big school. Personally, I don't think it's a public vs private pre-school matter. Do not be fooled into believing that generally one is better than the other, do your homework on your chosen day care centres.
