Sunday, May 17th, 2009

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

A debate exists about the consequences of enrolling one’s child into a daycare. On the one side, people believe this ultimately produces child prodigies and on the extreme, teenage delinquents. The truth, however is somewhere in the middle. The benefits or disadvantages generally result from the quality of the daycare one chooses. This stems from several factors like teacher to student ratio, and the amount of attention the child gets from the teacher. A daycare center provides the child an alternative environment from his home where he can interact with his peers and at the same time learn basic academic skills in preparation for kindergarten. This helps the child adapt with ease to the often difficult transition from the environment at home to the classroom once he starts to go to school.
