Parents often feel
guilty when they drop their child off at daycare. But here are some reasons you
may not have thought of to feel good about your choice:
Long-Term Health
Benefits - Children who attend daycare are exposed to illness more frequently
which serves to boost their immune system. Some research indicates that this
boost to the immune system can help reduce the effects of allergies, asthma and
other childhood diseases.
Better Prepared for
School – Your child benefits from a strong curriculum at Goddard that teaches
the basics such as the alphabet, numbers, and vocabulary. By the time school
starts your child has had exposure to the concept of a learning environment.
They understand what is expected of them when they go to kindergarten. This can
provide a valuable head start that other children may not be getting.
A Social Network – Since
your child has an established group of friends from daycare who will be joining
them in Kindergarten the first day of school might not be as scary. You and your
child have a connection to the other parents and children through your daycare
experience. In addition skills like cooperation and making friends may be more
advanced as a result of the daycare experience.
