"Hi, my name's Veronica Baragas with wigglesandgiggles.com and I'd like to share with you a few benefits of child daycare. Well, most daycare centers are usually registered or licensed with the state, which means that they're going to follow a list of rules and regulations. So, you know, you're definitely going to get your safety and you know, health regulations in any center. A lot of the times they also follow food programs which helps regulate the nutrition part of your daily you know, activities and whatnot. So you know, when you develop a daycare center you are required to do you know, great programs and lesson plans and schedules and whatnot. So they definitely can benefit from you know, getting on a routine and just learning those things that a lot of the times if you're you know, if grandma's watching or if you have a nanny sometimes even, they don't get to learn that social aspect. So getting to know how to interact with other children and not just children but with teachers, other parents, you know just that social experience overall and you know, getting to learn different activities and learn through play and whatnot. So I think that child daycares are very beneficial in so many ways. It can be a little tough leaving you know, your little one with strangers. But eventually over time they a become a big part of your life. And a lot of the times a lot of our childcare workers take very much pride in what they do. And it's a great time for them to learn and experience things that they wouldn't be able to if they were at home or you know, with a nanny. So, I think that childcare centers are definitely a big you know, they're a great benefit in your family."
