Guidelines

What to look for in your child’s first day care!

Choosing your child’s first daycare is crucial. Prioritize safety, qualified staff, engaging curriculum, low staff-to-child ratio, convenient location, and positive parent reviews to ensure a nurturing and supportive environment.

Safety and Cleanliness

Ensure the daycare has strict safety protocols and maintains a clean environment. This helps prevent accidents and reduces the risk of illness.

Qualified Staff

Caregivers with proper ECD (Early Childhood Development) course training, certifications, and experience in early childhood education. Qualified staff can provide better care and support for your child's development.

Staff-to-Child Ratio

A lower staff-to-child ratio allows for more personalized attention and better supervision. This ensures each child gets the necessary care and guidance.

Curriculum and Activities

Evaluate the daycare's educational program to ensure it offers age-appropriate learning activities. A good curriculum fosters cognitive, social, and physical development.

Location and Convenience

Consider the daycare's proximity to your home or workplace for convenience in daily commutes. A convenient location can make drop-offs and pick-ups less stressful.

Reviews and Good Reputation

Gather feedback from other parents to understand their experiences and satisfaction with the daycare. Positive reviews and recommendations can provide assurance of the daycare's quality and reliability.
