Putting your child into daycare is scary, for both parents and children. A positive daycare experience can make this process much easier. There are a lot of debates on which is better: home daycare or daycare centre care. The fact is: there are good and bad home daycares, and there are good and bad day care centres.

Pro #1: Reliable Care
Putting your child in a daycare centre definitely relieves the stress of finding alternate care. In a centre, they have supply staff to take over when a regular staff member is sick or on holidays. Also, daycares have a lot of structure and routine built into the curriculum. The children quickly get used to the rules and routines at the daycare and feel safe and secure in their care.
