What is the ideal age for a child to start a life outside the home? Some parents start sending their children out of home at the age of 2-years when they can start pre-school. Others start sending their children to daycare when they cross the one-year mark. Parents who choose to do the latter often face judgment from their peers who believe the child’s formative years should be spent at home. However, there is no reason for you to feel guilty. Sending your child to daycare has a number of advantages for you and your child. Here are a few of these benefits.

02. Better Communication Skills
One of the common things parents with children who talk with gestures instead of words are told is that their communication will improve once they start going to school. This is because communication has a direct relationship with socialization. Sending your child to a playschool gives them an opportunity to learn social skills at an early age. As children socialize, their communication skills improve. They are also more likely to interact with children of different ages and thus can develop better communication skills.
03. Stronger Immunity
A child’s immunity builds slowly. Once a child starts going to school; his risk of infection increases dramatically. This is because the child comes in contact with other children in school. The good news is that every flu infection a child has makes his immunity stronger. Children who go to a playschool get a chance to strengthen their immunity at an earlier age.
04. Better Relationship with Food
Introducing new foods to an infant is an exciting time but not always a happy time. Children are hesitant to try new foods and can resist solid food. However, when they start going to a playschool, they tend to be more willing to try healthy foods. This is because they see other children and their caregivers eating the same food. This willingness to taste new foods is beneficial in the long run and helps children build better relationships with food.
05. Develop Responsible Adult Behavior
The early education provided in playschools goes a long way in developing responsible adult behavior. According to one study, children who attend playschool have significantly more total years of education than their peers who stayed at home till preschool. They are also 4-times more likely to get a college degree. After completing their education, individuals who attended playschool are more likely to stay consistently employed to delay parenthood by at least 2-years.
06. Better Parent-Child Bonding
Merely staying at home with your child is not enough to build a strong relationship with your child. You need to spend quality time with your child. For any parent, looking after a child 24×7 can be tiring. Parents may get irritable with their children and have less patience with them. Sending your child to daycare for a few hours every day gives you time to mentally recoup and balance your emotions. Thus, when your child comes home and is with you, you will be able to give him more attention and care. This strengthens the bond between parent and child.
07. Economic Benefits
Parenting does mean sacrifices but having your child attend daycare gives parents a way to ease these sacrifices. With the child being taken care of by the school for a few hours, both parents can get back to work for at least a few hours every day. This improves the family’s financial capabilities. Daycares in financially backward communities can also act as channels for government support services.
