The truth is that, leaving your baby in a crèche while you go about your business doesn’t make you a bad parent; the real challenge is when you fail to make thorough findings on the condition of the crèche before you register your baby.
These steps will guide you to choose a good crèche for your baby or toddler
Make enquiries
It shouldn’t be because a crèche is close to your house so it is the right fit for your child. Your child deserves the best, to be able to choose a good crèche for your child or toddler, you must make thorough enquiry about the center before you register your child or toddler. Ask definite questions relating to what you have in mind for your child.
Accreditation
One of the questions you should ask is if the center is accredited. A crèche without accreditation will not be able to give your child adequate care, it also means that they do not have legal backing in case something goes wrong.
The environment
Children do not need to be exposed to hazardous environments, in choosing a good crèche for your child or toddler, one of the basic considerations is the environment. Be sure the environment is healthy for your child before you register your child.
Get first hand information
Don’t hold anything back in choosing a good crèche for your child or toddler. On your way from work, drop by and checkout the place for yourself. You can even create the time; but be sure they are in full session before you spy out the place to get first hand information if your child will be able to cope with their mode of operations.
The facilities available
Find out the facilities that are available in the center before you register your child. Do they have neat conveniences? Do they have basic social amenities? Who operates the center etc?
Accessibility
One thing that shouldn’t be neglected when choosing a crèche for your baby or toddler is its accessibility. This has to do with the location, if it won’t be a challenge for you as you navigate between home, work and the crèche, then it is a good center.
Neatness
Neatness has to do with the arrangement of things; are things kept haphazardly in the center? Do they take special care to be sure that all the equipment and furniture etc are kept in their right position after usage? Neatness and been organized are pointers to a well run center. Domestic accidents can be avoid by the act of neatness.
Cleanliness
Cleanliness has to do with the hygienic condition of the center. No reasonable parent will allow his or her child in a crèche that is not hygienic. Children need the highest level of hygiene to keep them free from sickness and disease. Never register your child in a crèche that falls short of WHO required level of hygienic condition.
Caregivers
We have mostly discussed about structure, but to choose a good crèche for your child or toddler, you have to put the human capacity into consideration also. Who are the caregivers? How friendly are they? Do they have experience etc?
Get recommendations
Ask colleagues and other parents for recommendation but that is not all, still research on their recommendations before you register your child in the center.
Bonne Chance!!
