How to Prepare Your Child for Child Care Services
- Talk About It: Explain to your child that they will be starting a new child care program where they will meet new friends and get to play and learn. Telling them in advance can make it easier to adapt to.
- Get Them Excited: If you can, try to work daycare into their everyday play! Like 'playing house,' you can play daycare with your child and show how much fun they can have in our child care program.
- Try the Library: Local libraries usually offer story time for kids to listen to someone else reading. Practicing before bringing your child to daycare will help them adjust to having one of our child care providers read to them.
- Practice Drop Offs: If your child does not regularly get dropped off at a family member's or other child care facility, they may not understand how it works or why you would do this. Practice with your child by bringing them to a family member or friend's house for a time period so they can get used to the drop off and pick up routine.
Benefits of Sending Your Child to Daycare
Cognitive development - Children who attend daycare are exposed to a variety of activities and materials throughout the day. These experiences give each child the space to be creative and discover new things, which is the best way for a child to learn new things. A child learns the most through play during the early years of childhood.
Social skills - Daycare gives children the opportunity to meet a bunch of other children their age. This gives children the opportunity to learn from others who are different than them, but also to make new friends which is something every child wants. Children want to have friends just like adults and daycare allows them to make some.
School readiness - Children that go to daycare are more likely to be ready to attend a full day of school for kindergarten. Daycare makes the transition to elementary school easier for children because they are already used to being away from their parents all day.
About Our After School Programs
If you work 9-5, or work anytime that gets out later than when your child is released from school, you need to figure out a plan on where they should go until you get out. Wonder Years Child Care & Learning Center proudly offers after school programs for Spring Lake and Fayetteville, NC.
Our after school programs provide an active and enriching experience for your child for a couple of hours until you are released from work and pick them up. School can be taxing on a young individual, so we provide them with fun yet enriching activities your child can partake in after school.
