You must make the correct choice regarding the care you provide your little children. Three areas to consider and a few questions will help you select the best childcare for your child.

1. Brain development in children

The years between 1 and 3 are a fantastic time to learn and grow when young brains quickly expand as they absorb and adapt to the world in the world around them. Your child, in the care of a caregiver, will enjoy being able to meet their teacher, who is specially trained to encourage children to play. 

This stage of development plays an essential role in healthy brain development. Childcare centers must strive to provide many learning spaces based on play and experiences. Family interactions, teachers, and children can influence how your child thinks about, behaves, and communicates with other children. These experiences can also influence the way your child performs at school.

Research suggests that an excellent early education is extremely beneficial during the first five years of an infant's development because it helps to lay the foundation for the rest of their learning.

When you choose a childcare center, parents have the right to assume that it provides a secure and supportive space to allow their child's identity and knowledge to develop. The teachers at the center you select must be aware of the individuality of each child's preferences and views and take them seriously and with affection. The toddler experiences at daycare are where the most learning happens!

Before deciding on a center, check if they offer the following:

• A gentle introduction to learning environments for children in the early years
• Connections that are trustworthy, caring, and dependable with experienced educators
• Early opportunities to socialize with other babies
• The motivation for your child's ability to talk and interact with the wider world
• Music, singing, and relaxing surroundings
• Fun and sensory stimulation that will ignite your child's interest

2. The pursuit of a passion for lifelong learning

The best childcare facilities are easily identifiable because they offer an inviting and warm environment to learn through play. Studies have shown that emotional health, well-being, and a love for learning are developed before children can speak in a full and authentic way. Early childhood educators are convinced that they build their futures starting from the beginning of their education and take care of their children.

The first emotional, social, and physical experience will immediately influence their health and well-being. The knowledge they acquire during the early years will allow children to develop and maintain connections with parents, adults, and other children in the larger community.

Does your preferred centre:

• Let your child discover and play both in outdoor and indoor learning environments.
• Help your toddler develop early problem-solving skills and perseverance in and out of the home
• Your toddler should be encouraged to form bonds with other children and educators.
• Encourage your child to talk with you, share their ideas, and make a difference in the world around them.
• Encourage participation in groups and also solitary games.
• Develop an understanding of the age appropriateness of writing, math, reading, technology, and science.

3. Developing school readiness

As school comes to the forefront, it is essential to know the path. Making sure your child is comfortable in a school environment and eager to learn and interact with their teachers and classmates is vital during their development.

The child's experiences with their childcare provider can impact their speech development and social behaviour. Research shows that children who attend high-quality childcare have better school results and are more equipped for reading and math. Additionally, they are more interested, better problem-solvers and communicators, and more confident.

To make sure that your child has the best education possible, inquire if they are:

• Preschools that are approved by the state government or kindergarten program.
• Learn from your child the importance of responsibility, emotions, and respect.
• Let children discover their own identities and determine their interests.
• Include literacy, numeracy, and science and enrichment into their curriculum
• Make sure parents are informed each day, week, and month on the progress of their child's development emotionally and academically.
• Contact local primary schools and provide transitional statements to children.
• Present information sessions to parents throughout the year
• Create a healthy environment for mental, physical, and social activities, as well as events for children
• Learn self-help techniques for children, like dressing, toileting, and the preparation of their lunchboxes
• Let children be part of group excursions that help build connections.
• Honor children's graduation from their school Readiness curriculum as a significant occasion before they move on to a 'big' school
• Let your child play and explore both in outdoor and indoor learning environments.
