Benefits Of Sending Your Little One to Crèche

Does the thought of leaving your child at a creche/ day-care give you mum/dad guilt?
Well, you're not the only one, most parents are afraid to leave their child in an unfamiliar environment. In addition to basic care, many day-cares also aid early learning. Therefore, they can have a huge positive impact on your childs development.
 

Benefits of sending your little one to creche/ day-care:

1. Brain development; babies and toddlers can develop a wide range of skills including, cognitive, social, and fine & gross motor skills. 90% of a child's brain develops at an early age. Brain development and growth occurs during their time at day-care through activities and communication.

2. Independence; watching your child grow up and start completing tasks on their own can be sad. Letting go very well may be one of the most painful challenges a parent or guardian can face. By sending them on their own while still being looked after, they can grow, learn, develop and become the individuals they are meant to be.

3. Social skills; by allowing your child to be in a safe environment where they can communicate and interact with other children and care-takers, they will learn how to talk to people, build confidence in their communication skills, as well as form their individual personalities.

4. Smoother transition into kindergarten; a study showed that kids who attended creche/day-care were more likely to adapt to kindergarten faster. They found it simpler to understand the concept of formal schooling.

5. Decreased risk of erratic behaviour, it is clear that sending kids to creche will benefit them in the long run. Finding a day-care centre where children are supported, engaged, encouraged, and exposed to a positive attitude can help babies and toddlers lay the foundation for their later intellectual development. They learn to solve problems and interact positively with other children and adults, forming a decent human being mentality as they learn about how their actions may impact another child’s emotion.

6. Provides regular routines and activities
Kids also have a day care program with a set routine. Although they may not be aware of the time allocations just yet, these expected tasks done at the same time daily are fun and essential for their intellectual development. Planned activities are also rewarding for parents as their kids will better understand the times for eating, playing, and sleeping.

7. Strengthens the immune system
Creches are important as they promote healthy habits such as good nutrition. The kids will be exposed to a great variety of healthy foods and eating models. Being around other kids and their germs will also help build a stronger immune system as their little bodies fight for their health and make them stronger.


Childcare is a norm and a reality now, and most working parents have no choice but to leave their child at a crèche or day-care centre. While there is nothing that can substitute the love and affection your child would receive with you at home, the right preschool can provide support to ensure your child is well taken care of.
