Center
Based Care
Some
families decide to place their child in a center based day care, sometimes
referred to as a child care center. Benefits from this arrangement include:
-
The family has income needed to pay for health
care benefits/a desired lifestyle.
-
The child is exposed to group activities where
he or she can meet same aged peers.
-
The family meets other families and learns
about a variety of parenting styles.
-
The family may continue with the same provider
as their child grows.
-
The child may be exposed to a greater variety
of activities and events.
Families
who choose this type of arrangement need the following supports:
-
Careful planning to assure the family has
quality time to spend together.
-
Back-up arrangements when the primary caregiver
is ill or on vacation.
-
A site that uses optimal health care practices
to prevent colds or infections.
-
A fully licensed care provider to assure
optimal stimulation and safety.
-
A child who can handle the noise and physical
contact of more children.
