Adjusting to Day Care
Author: AA Gifts
Once you’ve made a day care choice, whatever it is, finalize all arrangements in writing. If you are hiring a caregiver, you’ll need to draft a letter that covers your agreement with that person with regards to hours, salary, responsibilities, sick leave, and vacation. A licensed day care will have forma available.
You’ll need to explain all of this to your child-what’s going on, where you’ll be going, who will be taking care of her, and that yes, you’ll be coming back for her. You may need to stay with her a while the first few days; decrease the amount of time each day. Allow a reasonable amount of tome for your child to become accustomed to the arrangement. If your child seems upset at the end of the day, after a reasonable settling in period, you’ll need to find out why. Stay in touch with the caregiver on a weekly basis. Try to maintain a collaborative, supportive relationship. Work together to solve any problems that may arise.
