They also give kids a chance to interact with other children their own age which can help them understand the concept of sharing and teamwork. Parents may find nursery preschool programs beneficial too since they can provide much-needed respite or an outlet for creative activities for youngsters.

All nursery preschools on Care.com are asked to complete an annual background check called a CareCheck.

Additionally, visit the nursery preschools if these visits are allowed, or contact them with questions relevant to their care approach. The nursery should have high safety standards to protect the children from any potential dangers and appropriate policies on disciplinary approaches and health management. Choosing a nursery school also means learning about their curriculum; don’t forget to ask about their educational plans as well as any special activities they may offer. Finally, the nursery preschool staff will play a big role in the quality of care provided so it's essential that they are competent and friendly towards both children and parents.
