Five Common Myths About Child Care

The child care Rio Rancho parents want for their young ones needs to be reliable, trustworthy and, most of all, be equipped to tend to the unique social, emotional, physical and cognitive needs of the children. Though there are many childcare facilities around the Albuquerque and Rio Rancho area, some parents aren’t aware of the many ways these schools help children grow and develop. In fact, some caretakers and guardians may mistakenly believe inaccurate information regarding their childcare options.

Covenant Schools wants all of our current and prospective parents to be well-informed about the realities of childcare programs so that they can make an advised decision that benefits their young ones. We’ve identified and can dispel five common myths some parents believe about child care.

Common Myths About Child Care
 

Myth #1: A child care center is just a formal babysitting service.

A child care facility is much more than just a place where children are supervised. Many childcare centers have structured learning activities and playtime that engages children and helps them develop.

Myth #2: Early education doesn’t significantly impact a child’s development.

Many studies report that early education, even for children in their infant and toddler years, has a positive impact on their long-term cognitive development.

Myth #3: The only credential a day care needs is a state license.

A state licensure is a great way to discover how well a day care center is rated, however, the best child care centers will also have other accreditations, affiliations, and awards.

Myth #4: Day care center can’t cater to children at different developmental levels.

Great child care facilities will be able to structure their programs to give adequate and targeted attention to children of all developmental levels.

Myth #5: Great child care is hard to find.
