Long Day Care vs Family Day Care: What Are The Key Differences?

Finding the right day care for your child can be incredibly overwhelming, especially when there are a number of different services and settings on offer. 

Long day care and family day care are two types of early childhood education and care services that offer different learning experiences. While these services abide by National Quality Framework (NQF), both options offer unique benefits and different learning and care environments for your child.

 So, what makes these two types of education and care services and what sets them apart? Let’s explore.

What is long day care?

Long day care services offer all-day or part-time care for children from birth through to 12 years of age. Care is usually offered in a purpose-built facility like a childcare centre. 

Long day care services often offer extended hours, operating for 10-12 hours each day, five days a week, 52 weeks a year, excluding public holidays. The services offered by long day care centres must comply with legislative requirements regarding physical environment, staffing requirements, facilities and equipment. 

The benefits of long day care

Due to the structure and long hours offered by long day care centres, these services provide a number of benefits, particularly to working families that require greater flexibility when dropping off and picking up their children. 

Because long day care services tend to cater to children from birth through to 12, there’s a greater opportunity to send siblings to the same centre. Not only does this offer a convenient solution for busy parents with a single pick-up and drop-off location, but having an older sibling at the same day care can help younger siblings settle in. 

As long day care centres can accommodate a large number of children across a range of ages, they’re often split into groups based on age. This provides children with an opportunity to socialise with other kids of a similar age and develop friendships.  

Many long day care centres provide nutritious meals and snacks throughout the day, which can be an added convenience for busy working parents. Long day care services are also operated by professional childcare providers and all staff possess relevant qualifications and experience. 

Children attending long day care facilities may also be eligible for fee assistance courtesy of the Childcare Subsidy if the eligibility requirements are satisfied.

What is family day care?

Family day care offers a natural approach to education and care, with early childhood professionals welcoming small groups of children into their own homes.  

Family day care educators must abide by strict educator-to-child ratios, which dictate one educator to a maximum of seven children with no more than four children under school age at a time. In order to gain registration as a family day care, educators must hold or be working towards Certificate III qualification and hold approved first aid qualifications including anaphylaxis management training and emergency asthma management training. 

It’s also worth noting that Government-approved family day care is still eligible for the Childcare Subsidy.

Benefits of family day care

As is the case with long day care, family day care settings also offer their own unique set of benefits that could better suit your child. 

Some parents find that the small group environment of family day care offers a more nurturing, flexible and natural home learning environment as compared to other childcare settings. Because of the smaller group sizes, children have the opportunity to establish closer bonds with their educators while benefitting from one-on-one attention. These small settings also allow educators to tailor learning programs to suit children’s individual needs while offering unique, diverse experiences in an enriching home learning environment. 

Although the hours of operation of family day care are dependent on the educator, they can often offer care during standard hours during the week as well as evenings, outside of school, during school holidays and even overnight or weekend care.

Five main differences between long day care and family day care

Although family and long day care services share a number of similarities and both must operate under the National Quality Framework (NQF), there are a number of differences that differentiate the two. Understanding the main differences between the two education and care environments can help you to choose the setting that will best suit and support your child.

Number of children: long day care can often cater for many more children than family day care. Because of the larger number of children in attendance, long day care centres often split the children into age groups. Family day care on the other hand can only accommodate a limited number of children who attend altogether.

Different care environments: long day care environments offer a large group setting whereas family day care provides a small group setting with greater opportunity for one-on-one attention. 

Learning programs: based on the size of the cohorts, long day care and family day care tend to offer different styles of learning programs. Family day care has the ability to provide individualised learning programs due to the small group sizes, whereas long day care settings offer an age-appropriate curriculum based on the age of the group.

Socialisation opportunities: long day care centres tend to offer more opportunities for children to socialise with kids of different ages and a number of educators. Children who attend family day care often form close bonds with their educators and fellow peers. 

Cost of care: family day care is often a more affordable option for families as it’s charged on a per-hour basis, whereas long day care is charged at a set cost for the day.

While family and long day care settings both offer high-quality early childhood education and care to your little one, there are a number of differences that could make one setting more suitable for your child.

Have you ever wondered what type of care is right for your family? 

Do think that it would be better to go with a Family Child Care in someone’s home or a Day Care Center?

There are pro’s and con’s to each choice.  

With a Family Child Care Center, there are advantages.

Pros:

More relaxed curriculum: Children may follow a curriculum, but there’s often more freedom for the family child care provider to change the schedule. Anderson says she and the children in her care often walk to the park to play on nice days.

Siblings can remain together: This is an important factor for many parents, especially those whose children are very close. Children are able to spend time with and play with children of all ages and may learn more from the older children.

More individual attention: Anderson says this is the primary reason some parents use an in-home center. “Children are often a face in the crowd in a day care center,” Anderson says. “In a family child care home, we really get to know each another well.”

Affordability: The cost of family child care may be cheaper than a day care center.

Fewer germs: Because there are fewer children, your child may be exposed to fewer illnesses.

Considerations:

Less regulation: Licensing of family child care programs varies state-by-state; double-check the rules in your state. If your area doesn’t regulate these programs, safety and health issues may be a concern — consider center care if you want a group experience.

Lack of back-up: Most in-home child care providers have a back-up plan in the event of illness. However, emergencies can happen. Stolov suggests you “find out what emergency plan the family child care home provider has in place, especially if there is no other adult in the home.”

Difference in philosophies, values and styles: Unlike a child care center with a well-spelled out philosophy, in-home providers are all individuals. You may find the provider’s philosophy isn’t in line with your family’s style.

Here’s a link with a bit more information about Family Child Care Centers

https://www.care.com/c/stories/3442/what-is-family-child-care/

Now let’s move on to Day Care. 

Pros:

Multiple child care providers: If one teacher is sick and unable to provide care, there are additional teachers who can fill in to ensure your child receives age-appropriate care. Parents aren’t left without a back-up plan for child care if their child attends a commercial child care center.

State inspected and licensed: Child care centers undergo licensing through the Department of Social Services. Centers must meet high standards for cleanliness and safety and comply with local building codes.

Children are well monitored: “You have more than one set of eyes watching your child,” Van Hall says of using a child care center. Many child care centers also have closed-circuit cameras, which are monitored by the center’s director throughout the day.

Quality teachers: The teachers in day cares may have a stronger education background and take on-going classes to fulfill skill requirements each year. Many states are even starting to mandate educational requirements for teachers.

Age-appropriate curriculum: Children in child care centers are often in age-based classrooms. During the day, children participate in circle time, learning activities, outdoor play, arts and crafts and activities to develop gross and fine motor skills. Kids also take naps and eat meals and snacks with their peers. With infants, each child’s unique schedule is followed to provide a home away from home.

Considerations:

Cost: Because day care centers are commercial properties, the overhead is higher than a private home. This generally makes the cost of a day care center higher than family child care, which is in someone’s home. (Though some may offer discounts for siblings.) Learn more about the Cost of Child Care.

Germs: There are multiple children to a class and multiple classes in a center, increasing the chance for illness. Even when using good hand-washing and sanitizing procedures, young children often touch their eyes, mouths and noses, spreading germs.

How to access childcare subsidies in Australia

SBS Language

If you are studying or working and have young children in need of care, you can access subsidized childcare in Australia. Your eligibility and type of government support depend on your household income and whether you pass a special employment test.

Audio version can be heard here:

Australia’s Kindergartens and Affordable Grants (podcast)

Sarah Gardiner is a small business owner and mother of three (7 years, 4 years old and a baby of seven months).

In the past six years, she has been able to work full-time thanks to the various childcare assistance options available to her.

“Over the years, we’ve used everything from private nanny to au pair, family daycare, long-term daycare and ‘KU’s preschool’,” she says.

Highlights:

• Australia’s childcare options include: Center Based Day Care, Family Day Care, Outside School Hours Care, In-Home Care and preschools. ).
• The curriculum must be the same regardless of what type of kindergarten the child attends in the year before enrolling in school
• The federal government subsidizes childcare costs based on family income and hours of work or school.

Childcare options

Parents in Australia can access a variety of childcare options based on their needs.

The first option is Center Based Day Care, which is basically a childcare facility approved by the regulators to provide quality early childhood care and education.

Most of these centers provide 10 to 12 hours of care per day.

Another option is Family Day Care, which operates in the caregiver’s home. This means that you take your children to the caregiver’s home for care and early childhood education.

Outside School Hours Care is care for a child before or after school, usually from 6:30 am to 9:00 am and then from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm and during school holidays.

In areas where these services are not available, In-Home Care services may be provided where the caregiver looks after the child in the children’s home.

This option is suitable for families who are geographically isolated, work non-standard or variable hours, or have special needs.

It’s never too late to realize your childhood dream

Preschools are government-approved services that provide early childhood education and care for children ages 3 to 6.

“They’re usually more structured and work fewer hours a day. They’re called various things – sometimes ‘kinder’, sometimes ‘preschool’, and that’s where kids get into a slightly more structured environment,” says Dr. Baxter, deputy director of preschool and childcare at the Department of Education.

She says that the Commonwealth government and the states and territories provide financial support for this type of care.

When can a child be enrolled?

According to Ms. Baxter, the age at which children can be enrolled and the age at which they graduate from certain types of care (excluding preschools) depends on each family’s situation and needs.

Ms. Gardiner says she was lucky to find a good family day care center when her children were very young.

“I went back to work with my first when he was 8 months old and my second when she was 8 weeks old, so I needed a provider who would take care of children under two years old. And the area where I live does not have any full-time care facilities for that age,” she says.

“It seemed to me that a family kindergarten would be better for such a child, because there are three other children in care at the same time, and they are all about the same age.”

She says that the only drawback of the family kindergarten is that if the teacher or his/her children are not well or they want to go on vacation, the family kindergarten is closed.

Ready for school

Ms. Gardiner sent her two oldest children to regular kindergarten when they were two years old.

“They supported the kids from this age on to develop their social skills and self-confidence when interacting with other children. It also helped me a lot that I could drop the kids off early and pick them up late,” she says.

But when her kids were three and a half years old, she sent them to a preschool. attention is being paid to teaching children to take responsibility, to develop independence and the skills that I think are necessary for successful integration in the school environment,” says Ms. Gardiner.

“They have specific days for different activities, they have library days for example, they are expected to put away their own lunch boxes and take on an extra level of responsibility higher than what they were required to do in kindergarten.”

Australia’s superannuation system explained

Dr Baxter says that in Australia children should be given the same curriculum no matter what type of kindergarten they spend their last year before school.

“The slight difference may be that your child may be in the garden for 10 or 12 hours a day, and only part of that day is attended to by the pre-school curriculum,” she says.

The curriculum for the Kindergarten Year is 600 hours per year, equivalent to two 7.5-hour days per week.

Payments and subsidies for childcare

Ms. Gardiner says that preschool year fees were significantly less than kindergarten fees.

Dr. Baxter explains that preschools can sometimes be cheaper than preschools because state and Commonwealth governments subsidize a year of preschool.

“In addition, children can spend the whole day in kindergarten. You pay not only for school preparation services, but also pay for care for 10 or 12 hours, and in some cases, this is also payment for food and other necessary things.”

Helping with your child’s home-based learning

She says nursery schools, pre-school and after-school care centers, child home care, family day care centers and pre-school facilities are funded by the Commonwealth government.

For preschools, the Commonwealth government provides funding to the states, which is transferred to those institutions in the state.

For preschools, family daycares, and afterschool care centers, the federal government provides a subsidy to families based on their income and passing an employment test that assesses hours of work, school, training, and some volunteer work and other forms of employment.

For example, if you earn less than $70,000 a year, you will receive the maximum subsidy amount, which is 85%. If you are on the other side of the income scale and earn a lot, then your government subsidy may be as low as 30%.

“A care facility might charge, say, $10 an hour, which could be an average hourly rate, and how much subsidy you get from the government to help you cover costs depends on your family’s income,” explains Dr. Baxter.

Ms. Gardiner recommends that your child be placed on the waiting list as early as possible, as some care centers and preschools extend waiting lists for up to two years.

To be eligible for a childcare subsidy, a parent or their partner must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident, or have a special category visa (

Special Category visa

) or some type of temporary visa, such as a partner visa (

) or Temporary Protection visa (

Parents may also qualify if they or their partners are Australian Government sponsored international students to study in Australia.

Food for 1-year-old: Menu and nutrition

Choosing the right foods for a 1-year-old can help them embrace new flavors and see meals as fun.

No single meal plan is right for all children, but these guidelines can help with feeding a toddler.

Share on PinterestToddlers can often safely eat many fruits, vegetables, proteins, and grains.

Toddlers can eat the same foods that their family members eat, though it may be necessary to modify some foods to make them easier and safer to eat.

Children may need to try a food many times before they like it. Parents and caregivers should never force a food, and never punish children, but continue offering a wide variety of nourishing options.

Some toddler-friendly foods to consider include:

• Fruits: Avocados, bananas, oranges, berries, mangoes, and other fruits are great choices. It is important to cut berries, grapes, or hard fruits into small pieces.
• Vegetables: Toddlers can enjoy all of the same vegetables as adults, so parents and caregivers can introduce new ones on an ongoing basis. Some toddlers enjoy baby food purees that include both vegetables and fruits, providing a sweet taste.
• Protein: Toddlers can eat bits of meat in baby-sized bites. They may also enjoy other proteins, such as lentils, beans, or tofu.
• Grains: Grains such as oatmeal offer healthful fiber that can prevent constipation.

There is no need to disguise food, add sugar to it, or try to make it taste better in other ways. Children learn to eat the things that parents or caregivers give them.

Toddlers respond to texture and shape changes. If a child dislikes a specific fruit, try cutting it into different shapes, arranging it into a smiley face, or offering it in a smoothie. Make food fun and creative, and do not try to control how much the child eats.

Eat together at mealtimes, and offer the toddler the same foods as the rest of the family rather than creating special toddler meals. Offer the child something that they like and be willing to give them a second portion if they indicate that they want more.

Where possible, it is best to develop an eating schedule and stick with it. Although toddlers should not have unhealthful snacks, such as cookies, with no nutritional value, they may need several healthful snacks throughout the day, particularly during a growth spurt.

The schedule only applies to foods, as it is important to give children water whenever they indicate that they want some.

Between the ages of 1 and 2 years, toddlers can begin enjoying the same foods as their parents or caregivers, as long as the food is in a child-friendly form.

Young children face a very high risk of choking on certain foods. Choking is a leading cause of childhood injury and death. Parents and caregivers can reduce the risk of choking by:

• Being mindful of dense foods that change shape: Peanut butter, squeezy cheese, and similar foods can block the airway. Avoid giving them on a spoon or in large globs. Some people prefer to thin these foods with water or spread a small amount over a cracker.
• Giving peanuts in smaller pieces: Doctors used to think that parents and caregivers should delay giving babies peanuts, but research now shows that the early introduction of peanuts reduces the risk of allergies. Cut peanuts into small pieces or blend them into peanut butter.
• Cutting small, round foods: Blueberries, grapes, and similarly sized foods present a significant choking hazard. Cut them into very small pieces — for example, divide a large grape into eighths. The same is true of canteloupe or other dense melon-type fruits.
• Avoiding choking hazards that offer no nutritional value: Popcorn and some other snacks, such as tortilla chips, present a high risk of choking. As they also offer few health benefits, it is best to avoid them.

It is also advisable to monitor children while they eat, discourage them from eating while playing, and remind them not to talk and eat at the same time. In addition, never allow a child to eat alone or in the backseat of a car, as choking is usually silent.

Sweet beverages, such as sodas and sugary juices, encourage tooth decay. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) note that there is no reason to give healthy children juice. If parents or caregivers want to give juice, the AAP recommend no more than 4 ounces of juice per day.

However, babies and toddlers should always have access to water.

There is no need to feed children differently, just because they are sick. If the child’s appetite is unaffected, and they are not vomiting, it is fine to continue giving them their usual meals. However, some children regress when they are sick.

Toddlers who are still breastfeeding may want to breastfeed more. Those who have just switched to solid foods may want purees or baby food instead. Encourage the child to listen to their body, then offer them healthful foods based on their needs. For example, a child who does not want to chew food can still get excellent nourishment from a fruit smoothie.

When a child cannot keep down food or does not want to eat, it is essential to continue giving them water. If a child has diarrhea or a very high fever or is vomiting frequently, ask a doctor about giving them an electrolyte drink to replace lost fluids and prevent dehydration.

Some doctors recommend sticking to a very bland diet for a few hours after a child has had diarrhea or been vomiting. People can use the acronym BRAT to remember suitable foods:

• Bananas
• Rice
• Applesauce
• Toast

Learn more about the BRAT diet here.

Most toddlers need 1,000–1,400 calories per day. Larger and more active children may need slightly more.

Parents and caregivers should not worry about trying to provide perfect portion sizes. Instead, they can offer a wide array of healthful foods and allow the child to decide what to eat. Many toddlers achieve balance over time by eating large meals one day and almost nothing the next.

Toddlers should eat every 2 to 3 hours, or five to six times per day. A sample daily schedule might look like this:

Breakfast options

• one-half of a cup of oatmeal and one-half of a cup of fruit, such as sliced blueberries or bananas
• fruit smoothie containing avocado, frozen berries, and banana
• cottage cheese
• scrambled eggs

Mid-morning snack options

• fruit and vegetable smoothie containing kale, apple, mango, banana, and carrot
• yogurt
• hummus or nut butters with dippable fruit or soft crackers

Lunch options

• sliced chicken or cheese and a fruit salad
• tuna and crackers
• lentil soup
• peanut butter sandwich with fruit on the side
• Greek yogurt with fruit

Postnap snack options

• frozen fruit smoothie “popsicle,” consisting of apple, mango, banana, and orange frozen in a popsicle mold
• cottage cheese with sliced avocado
• a few pieces of cheese
• mild salsa with pita bread

Dinner options

• cooked quinoa, lentils, or beans
• tofu stir-fry
• tender chopped hamburger with beans or macaroni and cheese on the side (or black bean burger for a plant-based option)
• grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup
• vegetable soup and an egg omelet
• cooked vegetables and ground beef or other chopped tender meats

Toddlers who eat dinner several hours before bedtime may also need a pre-bedtime snack.

Some 1-year-olds still drink breast milk. All major public health agencies say that it is fine to continue giving breast milk for as long as the breastfeeding adult and child mutually desire. Breast milk provides nutrition, so breastfed 1-year-olds may eat slightly less than those who have already weaned.

Once the child is ready to wean, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advise replacing breast milk with milk rather than with formula.

Every toddler is different. Some have barely started eating solids at 1 year of age, while others enjoy a wide range of complex flavors. However, children will eventually start trying new foods.

The job of parents and caregivers is to introduce new foods and turn meals into a pleasurable experience.

It might be helpful to discuss nutritional goals with a pediatrician or dietitian.

The diet of a one-year-old child / What and how to feed a baby – an article from the “What to feed” section on Food.

Principles of nutrition for a child per year

If a child has 6-8 teeth per year, and he looks with interest into the plates of his parents , this does not mean that it is time for him to change to a common table. At the very least, the diet of a one-year-old child should be very different from that of an adult.

Adult food is often unbalanced, prepared in an unsuitable way for a baby, contains a lot of sugar, salt and spices. Such food harms the growing body. Therefore, first of all, build the right diet.

• It is recommended to eat 3-4 times a day for 300-400 g plus 1-2 snacks between feedings.

• From the first year of life, the baby can chew solid food.

• If lactation continues, breastfeed until 2 years of age.

• Avoid fast food and sugary sodas.

A one-year-old’s diet might look like this:

• 8:00 – breakfast.

• 12:00 – lunch.

• 16:00 – afternoon tea.

• 19:00 – dinner.

• 21:00 – snack.

Advice

600 ml is the recommended amount of milk for a baby to drink daily.

If breastfeeding, feed your baby after waking up, in the afternoon after dinner, or before bed. You need to feed at the same time with a delay of 15-20 minutes.

Proper nutrition helps to form reflexes, which improves the absorption of nutrients in the body.

How much should a one year old child eat

A baby’s diet should include 1000-1400 kcal per day. The calculation is as follows: multiply the weight of the child by 100 kcal.

The calorie content is distributed as follows:

• Breakfast – 250 kcal;

• lunch – 350 kcal;

• afternoon tea – 200 kcal;

• dinner – 200 kcal.

Healthy food contains enough vitamins, minerals and nutrients: proteins, carbohydrates and fats. It is necessary to include fatty foods in the child’s diet: milk, butter, sour cream, cream. Fatty food promotes the absorption of trace elements in the body.

Interesting fact

10% of one-year-old children in Russia are overweight. They are not properly fed, they are allowed to eat fast food and drink soda. Obesity at an early age leads to vascular disease, heart disease, diabetes, mental disorders and other serious disorders.

Child’s menu per year

Balanced menu includes specialty meals designed to meet the needs of children, plus “adult” foods: meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, fruits, vegetables, cereals, bread, pastries and legumes.

It is good to eat milk porridge for breakfast. It is a rich source of vitamins, minerals and fiber. Fiber is good for intestinal microflora: it regulates the balance of beneficial and harmful bacteria.

Meat is a source of animal protein, indispensable for a growing organism. WHO recommends that children eat 60–70 g of meat per day. It can be served as steam cutlets, meatballs in soup, or any other attractive form. Offal and meat products are harmful to a one-year-old child.

It is also desirable to gradually expand the vegetable menu. Vegetables contain many vitamins, minerals, trace elements and organic acids that are beneficial to the body. Gradually introduce boiled carrots, cabbage, zucchini, turnips, beets into the baby’s diet.

Legumes are a source of vegetable proteins. Beans, lentils, green peas diversify the baby’s diet. They contain useful trace elements, vitamins, as well as coarse fiber. Therefore, legumes need to be boiled and chopped in a blender. Beans should not be eaten too often either, as they cause bloating and, in rare cases, diarrhea.

Fruit diet improves immunity, especially in winter when the body is weakened. Fruit goes well with cereals or served as smoothies and juices.

Sugar and salt lead to nutritional imbalances, cardiovascular problems and obesity. Avoid cakes, pastries, chocolate bars and other sweets. Replace sugar with fructose, which is abundant in fruits, or honey.

What to drink? Water, lots of water. It is advisable to make sure that the child has drunk a glass of liquid after eating. He himself will not ask, because he still does not know how. When a one-year-old child is thirsty, he begins to act up. Sweet soda should be excluded from the diet of the baby.

What foods should not be given to a one-year-old child

Approach the baby’s menu carefully. Do not rush to transplant him to an adult table. Among the forbidden foods for a one-year-old child:

• Fried foods, including chips, snacks and fast food.

• Meats and offal such as sausages and sausages, other than liver, heart and tongue.

• Curds, ice cream, condensed milk, koumiss.

• Mushrooms.

• Products containing colorants and flavors.

• Cream confectionery containing vegetable protein.

• Carbonated drinks.

• Concentrates like Doshirak.

• Caramel and gum.

• Pickled vegetables and fruits.

• Spices and condiments, including ketchup, mayonnaise and other sauces.

• Smoked products.

Advice

Buy food from stores labeled “Baby Food”. The label often says for what age this product is intended. There are no additives, GMOs, artificially grown products and other things in baby food. Read the contents of the label carefully. Often unscrupulous manufacturers use false labels for marketing purposes.

What to do if the child does not want to eat

It is difficult to persuade children to try unusual food. There are four ways to deal with this problem:

1. Lead by example before introducing new foods. When he sees that adults eat with appetite, he involuntarily wants to try it. But remember that the baby gets used to a new food only from the tenth time.

2. Try one new product at a time. A child needs time to get used to it. New food should be combined with what is already loved.

3. Don’t force your child to eat something they don’t like. Let him choose what he wants.

4. Food should be as simple and familiar as possible. Children do not like dishes with many obscure ingredients like casseroles.

Tip

Babies eat better when they are relaxed. Work up an appetite during a walk or after a game. Never teach children to watch TV or smartphones while eating. Eating should be extremely calm.

Benefits of pre-mixed formula

Don’t be afraid to switch babies to formula instead of breastfeeding. They benefit the baby’s body, unlike, say, goat’s milk. Goat’s or cow’s milk is too low in nutrients and high in protein. Its digestion increases the load on the gastrointestinal tract of the child and leads to obesity.

Three advantages of mixtures:

1. Contains polyunsaturated fatty acids that are beneficial for the baby’s body.

2. Rich in probiotics and prebiotics, live bacteria that maintain normal intestinal microflora.

3. Give your child the necessary balanced intake of vitamins and minerals.

Tip

Formula will not replace breast milk.

What can be done?

Set a clear power mode. Make a menu for every day: breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, snack. Write down the products and their quantity. The children’s menu should be varied and balanced, contain sufficient nutrients, minerals and vitamins. Introduce new foods gradually and do not force the child to eat something that he does not want in a year.

We are expanding the diet.

Nutrition for children from 1 year to 1.5 years. Menu and diet of a child after 1 year

Your baby has just celebrated his first “anniversary” – he is one year old. He has learned a lot this year. Should his eating style change now?

Perhaps we can say that your baby has entered a transitional stage in nutrition. He is no longer a baby. The kid will begin to master the “food environment” more and more and come closer in his eating habits and addictions to adults. But it takes some time for the baby to gradually adjust to a new style of eating.

By this age, the baby’s digestive system has also undergone great changes. First, he already got his own teeth. As a rule, by the age of 1 year, children have 6-10 milk teeth. The chewing skills of the baby are rapidly improving. In this process, an important role is played by the interest in chewing food, which “gets” the crumbs in coarse or even unground form. Secondly, the activity of digestive enzymes produced in various parts of the baby’s digestive tract has increased significantly. This means that he is already ready to digest and assimilate much more complex products than six months ago. Thirdly, the child has already become acquainted with many tastes of dishes; it is likely that he has already formed certain taste preferences. Further modification of nutrition should be associated not only with an increase in the nutritional value of the diet, but also with the expansion of the taste knowledge of the baby.

As a rule, breastfeeding after 1 year occurs early in the morning and late in the evening, before going to bed. Often, even at this age, night feedings are also preserved. There is nothing to worry about: it is impossible to overfeed with breast milk. In addition, recent studies allow us to say with confidence that nightly breastfeeding not only does not increase the risk of developing caries, but, on the contrary, prevents its development. Antibodies contained in breast milk inhibit the growth of staphylococcus aureus, which is the main cause of tooth decay.

If the baby has already stopped receiving breast milk, but continues to “sip” at night on a bottle of formula or even juice, then this should be stopped. Unfortunately, formulas differ in properties from breast milk. Therefore, their use, especially at night, significantly increases the risk of caries. The fact is that after them, as after any meal, the acid-base balance in the oral cavity is strongly shifted to the acidic side, which creates the prerequisites for the destruction of tooth enamel. And in general, by the age of one and a half, a baby should already be weaned from eating at night (this does not apply to breastfeeding), as this disturbs sleep, worsens appetite during the day and prevents parents from getting enough sleep.

When and how much to feed the baby?

Up to 1.5 years old, you can leave the baby five meals a day, but if you notice that the child refuses the last (fifth) feeding, then it’s time to transfer him to the “adult” four meals a day: breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. In this case, the intervals between feedings are 3.5-4 hours. It is during this period, according to research, that the food eaten is evacuated from the stomach of the crumbs, that is, it is ready for the next meal. You should follow the established diet quite clearly: try not to deviate from the “schedule” for more than 15-30 minutes. If the feeding regimen is observed, a clearer work of the entire digestive system is observed: the food reflex determines the formation of a good appetite, digestive juices are produced in a timely manner and in sufficient quantities, which allows you to digest and assimilate food well. With erratic nutrition, such a reflex is almost not developed, the secretion of enzymes and juices decreases, and food is processed worse. Try not to give your baby anything between feedings – fruits, juices, dairy products, and especially sweets. This is especially true for children with reduced appetite. Such “snacks” reduce the appetite of the crumbs, knock down the established mechanism for the production of digestive juices, so during the main meals, he may refuse certain healthy foods.

The daily calorie content of a child aged 12-18 months is approximately 1300 kcal, the amount of food is 1000-1200 ml. The distribution of this amount during the day is quite even: breakfast and dinner – 25% each, lunch – 35%, afternoon tea – 15%. It is estimated that for every kilogram of body weight, a one-year-old child needs about 4 g of protein, 4 g of fat and 16 g of carbohydrates per day. At the same time, animal proteins should make up at least 70% of their total daily amount, vegetable fats – approximately 13% of the total amount of fat.

What to bring to the table?

By the age of 1, your little one has most likely become familiar with almost all kinds of foods. After 1 year, the modification of the diet involves both an appeal to new products, and a gradual change in the way they are prepared and the degree of grinding.

Breast or non-chest?
Despite the fact that the baby has formally left the ranks of infants, it is probably too early to wean him, especially in the hot season (the latter circumstance significantly increases the risk of catching an intestinal infection). Many pediatricians believe that breastfeeding is worth around 20-24 months. After all, breast sucking not only gives the baby the opportunity to get delicious milk, but also allows you to feel maternal warmth and care, providing psychological comfort. We must also not forget that milk remains extremely useful even at this age: it contains special substances that stimulate the development of the nervous system, in particular the brain, many vitamins, antibodies, and is easily and completely absorbed.

Dairy products in the child’s diet

Dairy products still occupy a large place in the diet. They are a source of valuable calcium, B vitamins, as well as a supplier of protein and milk fat. After 1 year, the baby can be offered kefir (up to 200 ml per day), yogurt (200-300 ml). It is best not to exceed the recommended amount, as lactic acid products are rich in acidic compounds, which can overload both the digestive and excretory systems of the baby. It is better that the yogurt is made specifically for baby food. If you give your baby “adult” yogurts, make sure that they are low-fat (dairy, not creamy) and contain as little sucrose, preservatives, flavors and other artificial additives as possible. Of course, it is better to prefer “live” yogurts – they allow you to maintain healthy intestinal flora. Such yogurts have a limited shelf life (usually no more than 2 weeks), and they can only be stored in the refrigerator, at a temperature of 2-8°C. If the yogurt packaging indicates that the shelf life is more than 1 month, then this product has been heat-treated and does not contain live lactic acid cultures. Milk formulas also remain relevant – the so-called “follow-up formulas”, that is, those that are intended for feeding children after 6 months. Why, even after 1 year, is it worth offering them to the baby? The fact is that nutritionists are increasingly agreeing to postpone the baby’s acquaintance with whole cow’s milk at least until 2-2.5 years, which is associated with a high frequency of allergic reactions to cow’s milk protein.

Other important dairy products are cottage cheese and cheese. The daily dose of cottage cheese can be increased to 70 g per day after 1 year. Some parents prefer to give it to their children every other day, but at a dose of about 140 g. Cottage cheese can be given in a “pure” form, or you can make pudding, casserole from it, closer to a year and a half – make cheesecakes. Cheese is often used in grated form as an additive to pasta. But some babies love to chew cheese with their teeth. In this case, this product will also contribute to the development of chewing skills.

Butter is most often used as an additive to cereals or spread on bread. The recommended dose is about 12 g per day. It is better not to subject the butter to heat treatment (that is, add it to ready-made dishes).

After 1 year low-fat sour cream and cream can be used in small amounts. Sour cream is best suited for dressing first courses, cream – for making sauces for second courses.

Fruits and vegetables in the child’s diet

Fruits and vegetables should also be widely represented on the baby’s table. After 1 year, you can slowly introduce the baby to new types of fruits and berries: strawberries, cherries, cherries, kiwi, apricots, peaches, currants, gooseberries, chokeberries, sea buckthorn, raspberries, blackberries, cranberries, blueberries, lingonberries and even citrus fruits. Of course, such acquaintances should be well thought out, and the mother will have to carefully observe the reaction of the crumbs to each new product introduced. In children with allergic reactions, it is best not to take new steps without consulting an allergist or pediatrician. Berries that have a fairly dense peel are best mashed, while soft juicy fruits (apricots, peaches, kiwi) can be offered to the baby in slices. Even if your beloved little one tolerates exotic fruits (citrus fruits, kiwi), do not give them a lot: these fruits contain quite a lot of vegetable acids, which in large quantities can irritate the delicate mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract. Grapes enhance the fermentation processes in the intestines and overload the child’s diet with carbohydrates. However, it is relatively poor in vitamins. That is why nutritionists recommend starting its use at a later age – closer to three years. Fruits can be given to the baby at the end of the main meals, can also be added to porridge, mixed with dairy products. The recommended dose of fruits is about 200-250 grams per day. To this amount, you can add another 100 ml of fruit juice. If up to 1 year it was necessary to prefer clarified juices, then after 1 year it is quite possible to give juices and nectars with pulp to the baby.

Your baby’s vegetable menu can be enriched with beets, turnips, tomatoes, green peas, beans. Legumes should be given to children in small quantities and only in a well-cooked and thoroughly chopped form, as these foods are rich in coarse fiber, which causes increased gas formation in the intestines, increases peristalsis, which can lead to abdominal pain and stool thinning. Vegetables are mainly used in soups and side dishes for meat and fish dishes. They can not only be boiled, but also stewed. At the age of 1 year, they are given in the form of mashed potatoes; closer to a year and a half, you can begin to offer the baby soft boiled or stewed vegetables in pieces. Closer to a year and a half, you can sometimes begin to offer crumbs and garden greens – dill, parsley, cilantro, wild garlic, spinach, lettuce, green onions. Finely chopped greens can be added to soups and main dishes before serving.

It is better to add vegetable oils at the final stage of cooking vegetables in order to heat them as little as possible, since in the process of heating any fats, carcinogens are formed that are harmful not only to babies, but even to adults.

Meat, fish, eggs in the child’s diet

Meat products are given in the form of steam cutlets, meatballs, meatballs, meat soufflé and pudding in the amount of 100 g daily. Toward the middle of the second year, you can offer the baby stew in small pieces, but be careful not to choke. Many types of meat are still used in the diet: beef, veal, lean pork, rabbit, turkey, chicken, as well as offal – liver, tongue, heart, brains. Waterfowl meat (duck, goose) and lamb are rich in refractory fats, which complicates the digestion and assimilation of these meats, so they can be given only from time to time.

Fish should be offered once or twice a week for 30-40 g per meal as a substitute for meat dishes. You can cook fish cakes (steam) or meatballs, stew fish fillets.

Eggs are also of great importance in the nutrition of children after 1 year, as they are rich in valuable nutrients – easily digestible protein, valuable amino acids, vitamins (A, D, E), phospholipids, minerals, micro and macro elements. Egg protein is absorbed almost completely – by 96-97%, fats – by about 95%. Only chicken and quail eggs are used to feed babies. Waterfowl eggs are excluded due to the high risk of transmission of dangerous infections. Quail eggs differ from chicken eggs not only in their higher protein content (with a large amount of the essential amino acid tryptophan), but also in their higher content of fat and cholesterol. Children under 1.5 years old should only be offered boiled eggs (hard boiled) or in the form of omelettes in milk (they can also contain various vegetables). Raw (and besides, “soft-boiled” and “pouched” eggs are digested worse, as they contain undenatured protein, and are also dangerous from the point of view of infection transmission. It is convenient to cook an omelette in a microwave oven. Then it will not be fried, as on pan, and baked, without a crust.The omelette mass is poured into dishes intended for microwave ovens (without using oil) and put in the oven for 2-3 minutes.In addition, eggs are added to other products during the preparation of various dishes (cheesecakes, pancakes Since eggs are a product with high allergenic properties (quail eggs are still much less allergenic than chicken eggs), they should not be given to children daily, it is better to do this 3 times a week or every other day. The recommended dose of eggs is % chicken eggs per day or whole – every other day. For quail eggs, the dose is approximately doubled.

Cereals, flour and bakery products in the diet of a child

Cereals are widely used in baby food. Oatmeal and buckwheat are especially useful for babies, you can also use corn, rice, millet and other types of cereals. It will be easier for a one-year-old baby to chew and swallow if the porridge has a uniform consistency, so soluble (“instant”) porridges are often used. Closer to one and a half years, well-boiled cereals can be given without additional grinding.

From time to time pasta can be used in children’s nutrition. They can be given as a side dish or seasoned with soup. However, they should not be abused, as they are rich in easily digestible carbohydrates. It is recommended to offer them to the baby once or twice a week.

Bread is also used in the nutrition of children of this age. Up to 1.5 years, it is better to offer babies only white bread: it is easier to digest. The total amount of bread per day should not exceed 100 g. Starting from 1.5 years old, you can include a little rye bread in the diet of crumbs (up to 50 g per day). Rye bread is not offered to children under 1.5 years old, since the sour dough from which it is made causes fermentation in the intestines.

Other products

Drinking can be presented with pure water (preferably not boiled, but bottled “for baby food”), dairy products, fruit and vegetable juices, compotes (it is desirable that they be brewed without any sweetener at all or with the addition of a small amount of fructose), weakly brewed tea, herbal decoctions (chamomile, fennel, mint, etc.). It is not recommended to give carbonated drinks (even mineral water) to children under 3 years old, since the carbon dioxide contained in these drinks irritates the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract. Let the baby regulate the amount of fluid consumed. It will, of course, depend on the diet, season, ambient temperature and physical activity of the crumbs.

Table salt is used in small quantities – about 0. 5-1 g per day.

Grapes enhance fermentation processes, so it is recommended to give it to children not earlier than three years.

Sweets. You can add a little bit of sugar to sweeten some foods that are especially not liked by the baby. It is better to prefer fructose: it is absorbed and absorbed by the body more slowly and evenly (which almost eliminates sudden changes in blood glucose levels), does not require insulin to penetrate into the cells of the body (that is, it does not create overloads in the pancreas), disturbs the acid-base balance less oral cavity (and therefore less conducive to the development of caries). In addition, properly made, it is almost 1.75 times sweeter than sucrose, which allows it to be consumed in small quantities. To add flavor to cereals and cottage cheese, you can use fresh fruits and berries, as well as dried fruits. In addition, occasionally babies can be pampered with sweets (ideally, they can also be made on fructose – you can find such products on the shelves of health food stores) – marshmallow, marshmallow, marmalade, jam and, of course, honey (provided that baby can handle it). The total dose of sugars per day is 30-40 g for children 1-1.5 years old.

not so long ago they wrote that their baby doesn’t eat so much, but it was written with such an indignant accent, I even smiled a little:) I want to say that children are all different, even Adults have different appetites. And children are the same people as adults, mothers, there is no need to raise a panic. How much the child eats, so much he needs. He will not leave himself hungry, he has developed a protective reflex from birth, and he notifies of hunger by crying (if he still cannot speak). The most important thing is to gain a few grams in weight. And if, on the contrary, he loses a kilogram, then you need to sound the alarm. And if he is completely lethargic, he does not play. Other than that, your kids are fine! Let’s turn on the mind, not emotions 🙂 but on the topic: our son eats well, he doesn’t refuse anything, eats 200 grams, and even 300 for breakfast (porridge 200 and cottage cheese 100). Now he is 1.4 years old and he began to snack more often between main meals. Today, before the last feeding, for an hour, I begged for a steering wheel. I think this is due to his increased activity (he walks more on the street).

I do not agree with everything, there are statements from the category of harmful advice, namely:
Offering instant cereals to a child up to 1.5 years is complete nonsense, neither benefit in them, nor nutritional properties. And yes, they are absolutely delicious! If someone’s child can’t chew yet, you can grind the finished porridge a little with a blender, and gradually coarsen the pieces.
Drinking in the form of unboiled water, but bottled. Horror, even the most good and purified water “for children” seems to be poured in the neighboring basement, at best from the tap.
And of course, I was simply amazed – cooking an omelette in a microwave oven! Those. everyone knows that its waves are not useful even for adults, but they advise kids to cook in it. Apparently they don’t know what steamers are or just put a cup of scrambled eggs in a water bath…

Moms and dads, your little ones are the best in the world, they should get all the best. Do not give in and do not take the word of all the advice, analyze the information, and then act!

I didn’t give my eldest son sweets at all until he was 1.5 years old. He didn’t ask. We didn’t eat sweet porridge, tea and compote without adding sugar and honey, we didn’t buy cottage cheese, that is, he received fructose from fruits and EVERYTHING. Everything ended sooo badly …. One morning he flattened himself at 8:30 and did not have breakfast for the first 40 minutes, and at 9:20 an ambulance took him unconscious with hypoglycemia (sugar 1, 7). Thank God they pumped it out. After the examination, the endocrinologist said that this happened due to a lack of carbohydrates in the baby’s diet. That’s how I “perebdila” with sweets. We are already giving honey to the youngest in tea, and we buy curds with fructose, and we give cookies . .. Be attentive to the child’s diet, do not limit your child too much.
And the article is excellent. Already from the experience of feeding two children, I judge.

About the microwave oven struck and smiled! Complete nonsense, do such people really meet now. Curious to know what’s wrong with microwaved food? Or do you think that after removing the food, radio waves remain in it? ))))) Dear, this is not radiation! There are no waves left. The principle of heating in a microwave oven is based on the dipole shift of polar molecules (water, for example) as a result of exposure to an alternating electromagnetic field. High-frequency waves are dangerous only at the moment of cooking inside the microwave oven compartment, but you can’t put a child there! Yes, and there is always a metal screen on the lid! After extracting food, it is no different from thermally cooked food. And what you say is a myth of ignorant people. Really smiled))))))

we call meat any protein of animal origin (except fish). For example, chicken and turkey, as well as rabbit, we call meat. And yet we give every day.

If you personally call only beef and pork meat – that’s your own business. If you have chosen vegetarianism for yourself and your child, this is also your own business. Just don’t be amazed at the advice to feed meat to ordinary people, including children, because not all people want to be vegetarians.

My personal opinion is that meat does not pollute the body, and you can eat it every day. And I have seen enough of the children of vegetarians – small, undersized.

And we also sometimes made porridge for a child up to one year old, as in the comment above – they crushed it in a blender and the child ate it with pleasure. There are useful substances in homemade cereals, a little, but still, and we corrected the lack of vitamins – we took pharmacy ones, the doctor prescribed our baby’s Alphabet, and we got a complete diet :)) so they gave the child up to 3 years old, the child did not get sick with anything serious and grew quite strong)) I think the ideal diet is to combine everything)

2012-03-07, Mashenka77

I don’t quite agree about cereals, instant cereals are enriched with vitamins and microelements, therefore, in terms of their nutritional and beneficial properties, they are not much inferior to grain cereals, and children eat them more willingly, they have to adapt.

Family Stories

Don’t take our word for it. Hear what our families have to say about our amazing center!

• On October 2, 2016 I was awarded custody/Guardianship of my nephew and I was looking for a daycare to send him to. I remembered he was in KinderCare where he lived when he was in foster care, so I went on the internet and looked up KinderCare and I saw the one from Lake Arbor. Let me tell you ever since he has been going there, he loves it and the Directors, Ms.Rhonda and Ms.Nicole are amazing; they are so kind and very welcoming. Before he even started going there, just throughout the enrollment process, they were amazing I would definitely recommend everyone to take there kids there. The environment is so nice and they treat your babies as if they were their own babie. It’s such a loving place to send your kids! My nephew’s teacher, Ms.Raven is a very wonderful person and keeps you informed on everything about your child. I could go on and on! Keep up the great work KindaCare LakeArbor!

  – KinderCare Parent

• All parents understand how difficult it is to entrust their care to someone else. When I first discovered KinderCare Learning Center, Lake Arbor, I was hesitant because the school was located in a shopping center and slightly larger than my daughter’s previous daycare facility. During the tour I was impressed by the cleanliness, the warm smiles from the children and teachers, the detailed curriculum and the educational but fun environment. Immediately it felt like an extended family was focused to assist in heightening my daughter’s academic advancement. It has been nearly three years since my daughter started KinderCare Learning Center, Lake Arbor. Every day, she comes home with a new song, artwork and/or academic lesson. She is starting Kindergarten in a few weeks and she has learned to actively socialize with students and teachers, sign language, numbers, letters, days of the week, months of the year, and best of all, she can read. I can honestly say she is more than ready for Kindergarten. I’m so thankful that I found KinderCare Learning Center, Lake Arbor.

  Sharron L. – KinderCare Parent

• Aaron and Alexis have been with KinderCare since the Summer of 2010. It has been a truly wonderful experience for both my children and me. Aaron and Alexis enjoy being with the teachers each day during summer camp as well as before and after going to school. We are happy in knowing that our children are in a safe and secure environment and in knowing that they are well taken care of. We appreciate KinderCare and the service it provides for our family.

AMERICA’S MOST ACCREDITED

We’re so proud!

Nationally only 10% of daycares are accredited – nearly 100% of our learning centers are. That’s a big difference,
and that means KinderCare kids are getting the very best. Here’s why.

SCHOOL-READY

What Learning Looks Like

Our talented early-childhood teachers set kids down the path toward becoming lifelong learners in a positive, safe, and nurturing environment.

Lanham KinderCare Programs

Infant Programs (6 weeks-1 year)

Leaving your baby in someone else’s care is a big step. Everyone at our
centers—most importantly, our naturally gifted infant teachers—will work with
you to make sure the transition goes smoothly. When you step into our infant
classroom, you’ll see how much we want your infant to feel safe, loved, and
ready to explore their world.

Toddler Programs (1-2 Years)

Everything in our toddler classroom is designed for little explorers. That’s
because a lot is going on at this age. When your child is wandering all over the
place, that means they’re learning and discovering new things every day. We’ll
help them explore their interests (and find new ones!) as they play and learn.

Discovery Preschool Programs (2-3 Years)

This age is filled with so much wonder and curiosity. That’s why we offer a ton
of books and toys and bring artwork down to kids eye level. Children in
discovery preschool also begin to learn how we all work together in a
classroom. Simple math and science, pretend play, and group play help them
get used to a more structured school setting.

Preschool Programs (3-4 Years)

This age is all about expression, when kids really start to form their own ideas
about what they want to play and how they want to create. Every day in our
preschool classroom, your child will explore science experiments, create
artwork, and play pretend—all the skills needed for their big next step:
kindergarten!

Prekindergarten Programs (4-5 Years)

When you walk into one of our pre-K classrooms, you’ll see artwork and
writing displayed around the room. Labels are everywhere to help kids connect
letters with words. You’ll also see pictures on the walls that reflect the families
in our community. Your child will also deepen their knowledge in language,
math, science, Spanish, and social skills.

Before- and After-School Programs (5-12 Years)

You can count on us to provide reliable care for your school-ager while you’re
at work, with safe transportation from our center to your child’s school and
back! Whether your child wants to start a drama club, build a volcano, or
create a comic book, they will have a place to follow their dreams. Your child
will start and end the day with a whole lot of fun!

School Break Programs (preschool, prekindergarten, and school-age)

Winter break, spring break, summer break—when school’s out (but you still need to work), you
can count on KinderCare to provide a safe and supportive learning environment that’s focused
on fun. We welcome children ages 5–12 during school break times and make sure they have a
sensational, screen-free experience they won’t forget.

Learning Adventures – Enrichment Program

Cooking Academy™ (3-12 Years)

In Cooking Academy, kids learn new recipes from cultures around the world and
develop a healthy relationship with food. They’ll whip up everything from Southwest
rainbow lettuce wraps to pumpkin muffins, building their skills in STEM, communication,
and more along the way. And yes—little chefs get to eat their culinary creations!

Music Explorers™ (2-4 Years)

KinderCare families are already giving a standing ovation to our newest Learning
Adventures program: Music Explorers! Kids will learn to sing, move, listen, play
instruments, and even create their own tunes. Our original curriculum blends math,
science, social studies, literacy, and mindfulness (think yoga!) for a uniquely KinderCare
way of learning the foundations of music.

Phonics Adventures® (2-4 Years)

Learning how to read is a whole lot of fun at KinderCare! We help kids grow to love
books and words (and get ready for kindergarten) in our Phonics Adventures program.
From discovering the basics of vowels to practicing poetry, kids learn all about letters
and sounds in small-group lessons made just for their age group. (Bonus: Kids who
attend our phonics program are more prepared than their peers for school—and we
have the data to prove it.)

Dance

Our Teachers

We’re the only company in early childhood education to select teachers based on natural talent. Being a great educator isn’t enough though.
KinderCare teachers are also amazing listeners, nurturers, boo-boo fixers, and smile-makers. Put more simply,
we love our teachers and your child will, too.

• My about to turn three-year-old daughter has been coming to KinderCare for the past five months now and what a dramatic change in her vocabulary and social skills I have seen already. I’m amazed practically each week what she is learning. I think you pay for what you get and with KinderCare …… the money is well worth the return in your child’s education and overall well being. The staff is amazing: they are personable, expedient in responding to any concerns or questions you may have and devoted to the children. I’m so happy with my decision to bring my daughter here.

  Maria C. – KinderCare Parent

• Our daughter has the most delightful good manners. I know a large part of this is due to the wonderful and consistent example and reinforcement she receives at KinderCare. She also has great self-esteem which reflects how KinderCare uses positive methods of learning and behavior modification. Best of all, my daughter loves to go to school at KinderCare! She loves her teachers and truly feels they love her. We have no reservation about bringing her to KinderCare because we know that she is loved and cared for as if she were the daughter of each of the staff. She has been at KinderCare since she was a year old and each of her teachers has been exceptional as she has progressed from class to class. The management staff is personal and involved, staying in close contact with us about the center and my daughter. We love our KinderCare !

  Susanna R. – KinderCare Parent

• The teachers at KinderCare have helped my child to be independent, to start speaking, to be exposed to new things, to develop fast and to enjoy himself. Thanks KinderCare.
