Day care for your little one.

By moving towards daycare, you choose a communal setting for your little one. Your child will not be alone: he or she will have friends. And there will not be one single person who will care for him, but a team of qualified professionals. This is the big difference between daycare and a nanny or home childcare provider.
The second difference is that you are certainly more sure to find a nanny that will care for your little one than getting a daycare space...

Being cared for at the daycare, how is it?

Your child will be cared for at the daycare facility.
After that, it all depends on the size of the daycare. Often day care centres are divided according to the ages of the children, of course this depends on the centre and where you live. 

The day care  has regulations that must be respected by staff and parents. And there are rules that must be respected by staff, parents and children. These rules are not necessarily the same as at home, but children are quickly adapt to life at the day care.

If you have a question, a point of disagreement, a remark... do not hesitate to talk to the team or the day care director. If you do not, it won't take care of itself!

And if you are happy, say it too! From Christmas cakes to a year-end gift, Contentment and happiness are important to your child's caregivers!  

Given the statistics, and comparing the demand to the supply,  getting a subsidized day care space is very lucky, a miracle even... but what if after rethinking things you decided it would be best to arrange for childcare yourself (with a nanny or home childcare provider?
