Features Of A Great Day Care There are several features and signs of a great day care which make it the
perfect place for your child to stay. A great day care should always do several
things to keep all children and parents satisfied. Little Steps
Day Care are passionate about providing the best possible day care for all
children and parents. We always aim to leave you fully satisfied with the fantastic
support we provide.
Caring Environment Your day care should always implement a caring environment
where children will be constantly supported and cared for. Whilst this also
ties into the staff members working at the day care, an environment for the
right age group that encourages both academic progress from a young age as well
as offering interactive activities is very beneficial.
You want to make sure the environment your children are in
always gives you reassurance. From a young age, exploring and staying active is
perfect for all young children. They must also be looked after to ensure they
are never in danger and are always enjoying themselves when at day care. With a
caring but fun environment, this is always achievable.
Educational Aspects Day care can be the most fun and enjoyable part of a young
child’s life. However, it is important to remember that they are being prepared
for the early years of primary school at the same time. All educational aspects
of a day care should be fun and interactive for children to keep them
stimulated.
With the right learning facilities in place and help from
the staff members at the day care, you can make sure your children are receiving
great support in all aspects of learning from a young age. Our day care aims to
help with many aspects of learning, including:
Communication & Language Expressive Art & Design Literacy Numeracy Personal, Social & Emotional Development Physical Development Understanding The World This is something every day care should aim to deliver so
all children build up confidence before going to school.
Healthy Eating & Session Times Healthy eating is integral from a young age. Although you
may not see it as a priority, obesity can begin from a young age and carry on
into later life, so healthy eating from a young age can be very beneficial. This
is something you should always expect your day care to follow through on, even
if they do allow time for snacks and breaks throughout the day! Health eating
means involving all the food groups:
Carbohydrates Diary Proteins Fats Fruit & Vegetables Non-Dairy Proteins We also make sure that your children stay hydrated throughout
the day with plenty of water, with all children having their own cup to
maintain hygiene. We use fresh fruit and vegetables as snacks and can also
provide lunch and tea for all the children we look after.
You can also view our sample
menus to ensure you are happy with the food, snacks and drinks that your
children will receive.
Safety, Experience & Training Some of the most important features of a day care is that the staff looking
after your children have great experience and training, as well as giving
children complete safety throughout the day. With experienced staff members,
they should understand exactly what measures need to be put in place for a day
care to be safe.
Additionally, fully trained staff will make sure children
are looked after correctly and if any incidents do occur, they can be dealt
with effectively.
