when daycare is not working

We know that daycare is a good place for children in general but there are times when parents and guardians will just know that this type of environment may not always be compatible with their child. It may not be the daycare’s fault and it’s just that the child does not like that particular set up of being around different people. Whatever the situation may be, parents should see the signs when their child shows them that daycare is not for them. How exactly can parents know this? Some children are good at hiding what they feel and are not entirely very vocal yet. They may exhibit behavior at home that may not seem related to their experience in the daycare center, but it can be a sign that they are reflecting their feelings at home rather than in the daycare.

Starting with the obvious signs when they are at daycare, children who keep crying every time parents leave them at the center can be a sign that they are unwilling to continue with the daycare. Most children get over the separation anxiety after a few weeks but if it lasts for more, it is not for your child. Another sign is that they may look unmotivated and sluggish when parents drop them off or even while at the center. They are not enthusiastic about the activities and it tells a lot about what the child wants. The best sign to know that daycare is not working for your child is that he/she is not progressing effectively. Why waste money if knowing that your child is not benefiting.
