Preparing For Your Baby’s First Day of Daycare

Day care has become a great option for new parents these days, especially those who keep going back to work all the time and need their little ones to be somewhere safe and sound. Finding a good day care centre might be an easy thing to do but preparing for it might not be that easy. Therefore, we are here to help. If you are about to send your baby to a daycare soon and aren’t sure of what you should be doing at this time, give those post a good read. We’ve enlisted some great ideas that will help your baby enjoy his time at a daycare & make your life easy.

Get ready the night before

It is important to prepare yourself from the night before when it comes to sending your baby to a day-care centre. Whether it comes to bottles, diapers or extra clothes, you can pack them up in your car and keep them ready. That would actually help you stay organized on the next day and avoid last minute panic attacks.

Speak to the teachers about your baby

Let the teachers know everything they need to about your baby. The more information you can pass to the staff, the better they will be able to take care of your baby. Not only that, they will know your baby’s needs and will help them feel comfortable and good at the day-care.

Tips to help you manage difficult drop-offs!

Mentally prepare your baby

Let your child know what is about to happen. Let them know how to behave once they reach the day-care centre. From greeting the teachers to putting belongings in their places, you need to make sure your kids have a good idea of what they need to do. Mentally prepare them and they will follow through.

Don’t forget to say bye

Yes, we know you want to just disappear sneakily but that would be the wrong thing to do. You need say goodbye to your baby and not vanish in seconds. This will help you establish a routine for the kids and you won’t be leaving them alone like that. You’ll teach them how to be less afraid and more bold about what’s going to happen.

Show some consistency

Finally, learn to be consistent with your child. Your baby will pick up changes quickly and that won’t help them settle in at all. What you can do here is stay positive. Your baby will pick up the emotions initially and react to them. But you should definitely call once and check whether your baby is fine after you left!
