As many parents can attest to, it is not easy coaxing a child into daycare full time. In order to tilt the scales for the benefit of the child, the parent should choose the provider carefully. Because of the nurturing environment they can offer, many families look to their immediate loved ones or acquaintances for possible providers. BTW, I found a site about consultancy home in Spanish: asesoras del hogar. Many other resources exist for those that know where to look for them.
Among a group of parents, frequently daycare pros and cons are discussed and a parent can learn a lot through this manner. Since it is unlikely that any place you trust your child to will be absolutely perfect, it will be valuable for you to gain both the views that are favorable and those that are not about certain care places. If all the feedback you get is negative, obviously you'll want to avoid looking into that facility, although if you encounter good and bad accounts from different parents, take into consideration the fact that what is a great experience for one child can be a horrible one for another.
The Department of Social Services can also offer a list of the daycare providers that are licensed to practice in your area. Another resource could be your pediatrician, whose patients and their parents have acquainted him or her with numerous stories of caretaker facilities in your area. You should take caution as you are looking for facilities in your phone book or newspaper and although a good source, professionals do not have to be licensed in order to be included. Every parent should get a detailed tour of the provider's facilities, and taking your child with you is a great way to get him or her accustomed to the setting. Take your child with you to this meeting if possible as this will give them a chance to look around their new environment and meet the person or people who will be caring for them.
If you child has a favorite toy or blanket, or similar object, permit them to take it to daycare if the provider allows. Since homesickness is the main cause of the child's inability to adjust to the facility, this step can help overcome that problem. If your child is especially homesick, you can attempt to send with him or her, a picture of yourself or your family, providing that step doesn't make things even worse for him or her. To further help your child become familiar to his or her new surroundings, allow yourself a few extra minutes to stay at the facility until they get used to playing with their peers. Also, tell your child exactly when you are going to be returning and do not break this promise to the child. This information will make the transition to daycare easier on the child because they will be able to know that their guardian will come back for them.
If you are not cheerful as you leave for work, your child can pick up on that and it will increase their stress level. If you are upset over your separation, they will be to, whereas if you seem confident that all will be well and you will see them at the end of the day they will pick up on that attitude. It typically takes less than fifteen minutes of crying before the child calms down after their parents leave. When leaving, a simple good-bye is best, followed with a quick walk out the door away from the child's wails, no matter how hard it may be, when returning, make your time with the child long and devoted.
