5 Lessons Your Child Learns at Day Care 

As much as you try to teach your child about playing well with others at home, some lessons can only be effectively learned by experience. Day care is the perfect place for your child to learn important social skills, especially before they go to school and encounter a more structured environment.

A day care center can teach children to get along with others who are different from them, all under the supervision of caring and experienced adults. Take a look at five important lessons your child can learn at day care.

• Communication – Most people use verbal and nonverbal communication to create relationships. Day care is a great place for children to begin learning healthy, respectful ways to communicate with others.

• Conflict Resolution – Resolving conflict is a lot easier for children when the conflict is at home. Enrolling your child in day care will ensure they experience and resolve conflict in a different environment.

• Sharing & Taking Turns – If your child doesn’t have any siblings, chances are they are used to getting their way. Sharing and taking turns are two important skills they will need in school and beyond.

• Listening to Authority Figures – The staff members at our day care are knowledgeable, friendly people who welcome the chance to gently correct your child and help them get used to responding to teachers and other authority figures.

• Establishing Good Patterns – Above all, the social skills gained at a day care are ones that your child will carry with them for years to come. A good attitude and empathy are some of the positive character traits they can acquire at day care.
