Family daycare is an invaluable alternative to traditional daycare. With family daycare, families can benefit from having their children in a smaller group setting in the comfort and familiarity of their own home. Parents appreciate the cost savings and the peace of mind in knowing that their babies are in a comfortable, safe, and nurturing environment. Additionally, family daycare provides children with more individualized attention from caregivers in comparison to other types of daycare centers.
FAQs for finding family daycares near you
What is family daycare?
Family daycare isn't unlike traditional daycare centers, except that it's held in the provider's home. Like any daycare, they provide one-on-one attention to children in need of more individualized care, learning opportunities, and age-appropriate activities that bring together physical, emotional, and intellectual development in a homely environment.
What are the benefits of family daycare?
Family daycares offer a home-like environment that many children feel more comfortable in, and often feature smaller class sizes than traditional daycare centers. This may mean your child has more individualized attention when learning and during play time, and if they are more comforatble in a home setting, they may feel further encouraged to explore and grow.
How do I find a family daycare provider?
Finding a family daycare provider for your family doesn't have to be daunting! Start with a search of local family daycare programs in your area by using Care.com, where you can read online reviews from other parents. When talking to family daycare providers, ask plenty of questions about their experience with care for your child’s age group, their philosophy on education, what safety practices they have in place, any professional memberships they may hold, as well as ensuring they're up-to-date on required training. A reputable family daycare provider will be able to provide you with all this information and more to put your mind at ease. Before making any commitments, take the time to visit the family daycare facility and observe how the caregivers interact with children and make sure you're comfortable with the space.
