Children at a young age are rapidly forming neurons and learning new things, and exploring their environments. As soon as toddlerhood begins, it becomes very important for new parents to start nurturing their child’s brain- whether it is through interactive play, developmental toys, or learning tasks. It is important to keep a child’s mind stimulated and active so that key milestones at their age are achieved. It is also important to note that learning activities integrated at this time have a long-lasting effect as it sets the stage for the child’s attitude to learning and assimilating in the future. As working parents, it is often difficult to balance the demands of work and simultaneously balance and keep your child entertained with new projects and artwork. This is where playschools come in. Daycare or preschools not only have dedicated activities and learning programs for toddlers but also give your child enough avenues to develop their character in a wholesome manner. Here are 5 reasons why you should consider enrolling your child in daycare- 

Social Development– Often neglected as the most important aspect of character growth and development, social skills are important for your child’s character growth and overall nourishment. Pushing your toddler out of their comfort zone at a young age gives them the much-needed independence to explore their environment and form their own views about their surroundings by making contacts and friends on their own. It is important to let your child develop their own identity beyond their home to help facilitate some much-needed character growth that stays with your child throughout their lives. 

Creativity– As working parents, it is often difficult to concoct a new creative activity every day to stimulate your child’s creative and imaginative side- both very important aspects of a toddler’s brain development. Daycares are run by professionals who have actually done the required research to help toddlers access their creative side by designing new and creative projects every week for your baby’s brain development and growth. 

Parent’s Independence– A daycare is a chance for parents to relive their lives and explore their own identities apart from being full-time caregivers. This is the time when parents can invest some time into themselves and their relationship that goes beyond raising a child. Happy parents raise happy kids, and in today’s world- with open conversations around mental health, it is important to acknowledge this sentiment. Take this time for yourself for some much-needed self-care and rest, while your child is being taken care of and is exploring new environments. 

Getting Them Ready– Transitions are hard. In a matter of a few years, your child will be spending almost half a day in school without you being around to comfort them. Transitioning them directly from their home to a school can be rough on the kids, and priming them before enrolling them in daycare can make things much easier for kids and their parents. 

Helps with Routine– It is important to instill discipline and routine from a young age so that they can respect these values for a long time. Daycares have their own set of rules and regulations that are uniform for everyone and help children to have some order in their life from a young age.
