If the parent knows anyone else who has children that have attended daycare, they can converse with the child's parents about that experience. It is possible that you will receive both unfavorable and positive comments about certain choices and you can use both to help aid in your decision. While it is true that not every provider's personalities will match up with every child's personality, if there is more than one severe critique lobbied at a provider, there is likely to be a problem with that person.
If word of mouth does not direct you to a good caregiver, the Department of Social Services can provide you with a list of licensed daycare providers in your area. Part of a pediatrician's job is to listen to the daily welfare concerns of their patients, and for that reason, many pediatricians will be able to give you good recommendations. If none of those tactics work, try a phone book or newspaper. Upon settling for the perfect provider, take your child to meet him or her. It is definitely to the child's benefit to do this, because it allows him or her to meet the person who is going to be taking care of them, and removes the being left alone with stranger?
Most daycare providers understand this sense of longing that children feel and will therefore allow the child to have a favorite toy or blanket with them. For many children, the homesickness that they experience will be lessened through this process. Another tool parents use to help their child feel at ease is giving them a picture of home - usually of a family member - though parents should use caution because sometimes this only worsens the sense of loss that your child feels. Another way to ease the transition is by staying at the facility long enough for your child to get used to playing in this new place. If the child is old enough to understand the concept of time, then you can tell them when you are coming back and this will help them understand that you are not abandoning them. Many children are able to calm down and enjoy their daycare experience more if they know when you are going to be returning, and if you so consistently at the same time every day.
The actual leaving process needs to be as positive as it can be for the child. If you want the child's experience to be a positive one, then you have to send the message that they are going to be okay while they are at this new place. These centers offer a lot of play opportunities that distract children from their crying for their guardian and this is typically achieved in a mere fifteen minutes after the separation occurs. A simple good-bye before you leave is best, and save the hugs and kisses for when you return.
