Time is just racing. The world is darting towards the future each day on a fast pace leaving us with very less time to enjoy quality moments with the family. Responsibilities and commitments have glued us to such an extent that we wait for the weekends to spend time with our family who resides in the same house. It is the kids who get in that little bit of charm and add in a chirpy atmosphere to any mundane life of an adult. The naughtiness, their innocence and their cute gibberish accent brighten up the whole environment making our life complete and content. Gone are those days when children were feeling safe and secure with their grandmas and grandpas who were a part of the usual joint family setup. The houses used to be small with uncles and aunts around to take care of our needs when our parents were away. There used to be frequent family visitors who saw the kids grow up each day. Bringing up a child was not a private affair. The child grew up by itself mimicking and following the adults at home.
Lifestyle changes and changes in life
But as the times changed, changes have also affected the family structure. The grown-up children are not with their parents anymore, the families have split due to many reasons. Either settling outside for career compulsions or craving for personal space. The houses once small with more people have changed into bigger bungalows with 3 or 4 people in it. At such times children succumb to loneliness as nowadays not all mothers are housewives accompanying their kids at home. Women stand tall as an independent strong pillar of support system who equally manages the house with their spouses in all aspects – emotionally and financially. These are the times when the working couple has to literally “plan” for having a baby as having a child comes in with lots of responsibilities. Getting married takes away their singleton bliss letting them be answerable for each other. To complicate further, having a child is like an add-on responsibility of being answerable to each other and themselves about the credibility of being able to take care of their own flesh and blood in a civilized and sensible manner. This is where the “Day Care” comes into the picture.
Daycare is a place where children will be supervised and taken care of every day for a fixed time frame in a day. This is due to the absence of their parents who would be at their workplaces. Daycares are potentially considered as one of the safer and better options. The children are not just safe but also learn a lot many things by interacting with other children at the daycare. In this era where most of the parents consider a single child as their preference, daycares prove to be a silver lining where children get to mingle with many other kids of their age to loosen the burden of being a lonely child. Daycares also ensure a good disciplined, structured life for a child who learns many things inspite of their family being away from them who mostly influence the child’s behaviour.
Choosing a daycare is definitely a huge task. Not all good daycares could be considered the best and not that any daycare could be rejected based on one’s personal preference. There are various elements to be considered when choosing the right kind of daycare which matches the parents’ criteria and also provides a comfortable, homely environment for their little angels. Here are the few characteristics to be considered in a daycare that will, for sure get the best out of your tiny toddlers:

My daughter recently turned two and my wife is planning to go back to work in about three weeks. We want to find quality childcare where the workers are kind and fun because my daughter is pretty shy. You make a great point that we should take a tour of the daycare facilities so that we can see the ratio of workers to kids and find out the kinds of activities they do throughout the day.
I like how you said to ask parents nearby for recommendations. In a couple of weeks I will be starting a new job, and I won't be able to watch my 3-year-old daughter so I want to find a good daycare for her to go to. I'll make sure to keep this information in mind as I search for a good one for her to go to!
I like how you said to see how the caretaker interacts with the children. In a couple of weeks, I will be starting a new job, and I won't be able to stay at home and watch my 5-year-old daughter, so I want to find a good daycare for her to go to. I'll make sure to keep these tips in mind as I search for one for her to go to.
With the pandemic still at large, I do believe it is important for us to consider the preschool's hygiene and cleanliness level. It makes sense as in doing so, we will choose the right preschool for our kids. I will be mindful of these factors when I look for a preschool.
I appreciated it when you shared that it is important to choose a child care that is regularly sanitized since babies are susceptible to many infections and diseases that could be transmitted easily through the air. My friend just mentioned the other day that she needs to go to work next month and she needs to find a child care to leave her baby while she goes to work. I will suggest to her looking for the one that prioritizes cleanliness so her son won't get sick.
My husband and I want to find a daycare for our twin daughters so that we can both go back to work full-time. I appreciate your suggestion to talk to fellow parents and get their opinion on daycares they know of. My husband and I will have to speak to our friends and neighbors who have young children and get their referrals of good daycares.
