Generally, the children are placed in a crèche, due to the unavailability of the parents. However, this placement in a nursery requires good preparation to allow the child to have a good time in your absence. You must rightly meet certain conditions to fully ensure its basic needs in its new environment. Discover here the 5 tips to calmly prepare for your baby's entry into nursery.
1. Visit the crèche and get to know the premises
Do not be in too much of a hurry on the first visit to the daycare center where you wish to register for a crèche . Allow the child to walk through all the places in the nursery and get in touch with those who are there. Find out everything your baby will need to feel comfortable. It should be noted that you must also change some of his habits. This will allow him to feel welcome with new people.
2. Prepare the necessary equipment for your baby's entry into nursery
To allow your baby to find a place and live peacefully in the crèche, consider creating a suitable and reassuring environment for him. It is advisable to prepare certain objects and accessories to bring to the daycare such as milk and spare diapers.
When registering for the crèche, don't forget to make your little one's medication available to the crèche professionals. If eventually, he suffers from a frequent illness, they will take care of giving him his medication regularly according to the recommended dosage. It is also important that you specify the times of rest, nap, awakening and food preferences.
3. Gently prepare for your baby's separation
Up to 3 years old, your little one will always find it difficult to part with you. You must then begin to prepare him for a temporary separation by accustoming him to living with other people. Gently, start by entrusting your baby to a loved one to change his mode of care. This allows him to learn to live with other people. For the first few times, allow a little time off, but for other times, go away for long hours. The baby will thus get used to living without you and will be able to adapt to the childminder.
4. Talk about the crèche with your child
As long as you already know the formalities for enrolling your young children in a crèche, you should discuss with them the advantages of the new place they will be attending. It is also advisable to let your baby know that you will be present every day to bring him good things. This will help him understand that you are not giving up on him. Note that you have to go much more slowly if he is not yet old enough to understand with words.
5. Create a bond of trust: time for familiarization
By enrolling your child in the crèche, you entrust him to people you do not yet know. It is therefore essential to meet them. This is the time for parents to talk to professionals to ensure the safety of their child. This moment of familiarization is also an opportunity for the nannies to ask for all the information about the child. Once you've become familiar with the facility, your baby should begin the familiarization process as well. He must be aware of all the nooks and crannies of the crèche from the first day of his registration.
In summary, to calmly prepare for your baby's entry into nursery, it is important to make certain arrangements. First choose an ideal establishment in advance to guarantee the safety of your child. In a second step, you have to prepare everything the child will need. Remember that the success of this care will depend on the preparation and reception of his new kindergarten.
