Benefits of In-Home Daycare
Your child receives individual attention.
There is structure with more flexibility than in a center. There is less illness because there are fewer people in and out,
which means fewer germs are spread to your child. Your child is cared for and taught by a trained childcare professional who
is usually a mother as well. Children have the opportunity to play and learn with others in a much smaller group than in a
center. Your child has the same caregiver all day, ever day. And there is one person who knows exactly what your child has
done, eaten, etc. throughout the day. A quality childcare home may cost more than some daycare centers, but the lower number
of children, quality of care and consistency of the caregiver makes the difference in price more understandable. The ratio
of children per caregiver is much lower in a childcare home than at a daycare center. A good ratio of children to providers
should include no more than six children per provider. The smaller the number of children to provide for, the more individual
attention can be provided.
