Advantages of Learn Thru Play

Family Child Care....... 

*Your child receives individual attention;

*There is structure with more flexibility than a center;

*There is less illness because there are fewer people in and out, which means fewer germs are spread to your child;

*Your child is cared for and taught by a trained child care professional;

*Children have the opportunity to play and learn with others in a much smaller group than in a center;

*Your child has the same caregiver all day, every day and there is one person who knows exactly what your child has done, eaten etc. throughout the day;

*It is possible for your child to remain with the same provider from infancy up to three years;

*A quality child care may cost more than some day care centers, but the lower number of children, quality of care, and consistency of the caregiver makes the difference in price more understandable;

*You and your child are treated as part of the family in a child care home rather than being just another number in a large center.
