Accomodation at Daycare: How Long It Takes and How You Can Help Your Little One Adjust
Moving to daycare can be a challenging stage for both children and parents. This comprehensive guide to the essential stages will help you better understand this process and give you the tools you need to support your little one's harmonious development.
Knowing the Stages of Accommodation
The first stage in the nursery accommodation process is, obviously, familiarization. It is the period when the child begins to get to know his new environment and the people he will interact with. It is important to be patient and understand that every child reacts differently. Some may be eager and enthusiastic, while others may be shy and reluctant to break away from their parents.
Adaptation to the Nursery Program
The regular schedule at daycare may be different from the one at home, and the child has to adjust to this new routine. The stages of sleeping, eating and playing will be set according to a schedule, thus helping the child to develop a sense of predictability and security.
Formation of Interpersonal Relations
At nursery, the child will begin to form his first social relationships outside the family. He will interact with other children and educators, acquiring communication and cooperation skills essential for his emotional and social development.
Motor and Cognitive Development
The nursery is also a great space to promote gross and fine motor development as well as cognitive skills. Through games and structured activities, the child will improve coordination, strength and agility, as well as the ability to solve problems and think logically.
Integration into the Community
An important aspect of accommodation at the nursery school is integration into the community. The child will learn to share, take turns and follow group rules, social skills crucial to adult life.
Conclusion
The period of accommodation at the nursery can last from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the individual characteristics of each child. Patience, understanding and support of parents are essential during this transition period. Don't hesitate to communicate with the nursery staff to make sure your child gets the attention and care they need to make it through this important stage in their life.
