Day care centres have larger groups of children of the same age group.

This facilitates interaction which helps develop a range of social skills like communication, empathy, trust, sharing and caring.

Day care encourages your little one to explore their environment, interact with their peers, and find their own interests and hobbies. This encourages your little one to develop emotional intelligence and independence. Being independent at an early age builds your child’s self-esteem.

behaviours that your child will pick up at Day Care.
