What you should know when you choose childcare.
All children have five childcare needs that are vital to their health and happiness. Leading researchers Dr. Brazleton and Dr. Greenspan define these needs as:
- Ongoing nurturing relationships. Every child needs a warm, intimate relationship with a primary caregiver. Infants, toddlers and preschoolers need these nurturing interactions most of their waking hours.
- Protection from physical and psychological harm.
- Experiences tailored to individual differences. Every child has a unique temperament. Tailoring early experience to nurture children’s individual nature prevents learning and behavioral problems and enables them to develop to their full potential.
- Developmentally appropriate experiences. Unrealistic expectations can hinder a child’s development.
- Limit-setting, structure and expectations. Children need adults who believe in their potential but understand their weaknesses. Children need incentive systems, not failure models.
