Why is childcare so beneficial to a child’s growth and development?

Childcare is a necessity for many families, but it’s much more than a convenient drop-off location for working parents. In fact, quality childcare plays an important role in a child’s growth and development. It can greatly improve a kid’s language and cognitive skills, immersing them in an environment where they can learn valuable social, structural and behavioural lessons, too. All of this helps little ones to thrive when they make the move to school and onto adulthood. Here are just some of the ways in which Creative Childcare can support your child’s growth and development. It helps them prepare for a structured learning environment Childcare provides an invaluable structure of care and learning for children in their early years, helping to prepare them for the structured learning of school. It also familiarises kids with simple behavioral expectations – such as learning how to wait their turn for a toy, using a tissue to wipe their nose or raising their hands before talking – which can be hugely beneficial in helping them settle into school life. At Creative Childcare, we follow the early years learning framework, providing kids with a full schedule of fun tasks and activities to stimulate their growth and development. We have structured times for eating, napping and playing, but we’re careful not to over-schedule or over-structure the day. Instead, we provide just the right balance of structure and freedom, helping children learn how to follow a routine while giving them enough downtime to rest and relax as well. This predictability and sense of order not only makes many youngsters feel safer and in control. It also helps them develop self-discipline and a better understanding of boundaries and limits. It helps kids deve lop stronger social skills Young kids get a lot out of being with other children. In fact, social interaction is one of the most important factors in the healthy development of youngsters, helping to improve their cognitive ability, mental health, communication, language skills, confidence and independence. At Creative Childcare, we encourage a range of early positive social interactions that allow kids to develop vital skills required in later life, such as how to establish boundaries or resolve conflicts amicably. During playtime, for example, little ones can learn how to share, use their imagination, form friendships and empathise with others. In addition, attending childcare gives children exposure to other adult authority figures outside the family, which will help them develop the confidence to relate to adults in the classroom. It encourages curiosity and a thirst for learning Pre-school kids have highly active imaginations and love using toys and make-believe to learn as well as play. The right childcare centre will use a child’s own interests to stimulate this natural desire for learning. From alphabet songs to counting games and interactive art and music sessions, Creative Childcare offers a wide range of fun activities that foster curiosity, promote creative play and provide exciting opportunities to learn and create.
