1yr old going into daycare?

Question

ok so i am thinking to put my 1 yr old in day care so i can go back to work and study, so my question is, if a child is more advanced than a lot of other children there age, will they have to be put with children that aint so advanced or is there a chance she could be put into an older age group

Answer 1

Many daycares will not consider putting him into an older group because of daycare teacher student ratio regulations.  Daycare licensing regulators ONLY consider the youngest child of the group.  As an infant or a toddler, the teacher student ratio is often 1:3 or 4.  At 2, it usually raises to 1:6.  That's a big revenue difference of several hundred dollars a week.

Putting him into a two year old room would also put him with bigger, potentially more aggressive kids who are 30-40 months old.  Kids don't automatically move up the day they turn 3!

Answer 2

She will be put into her own age group. Remember you are trusting stranger to instill moral values in your daughter. These values she will carry with her through out her life. Make sure that they are on the same page as you are when it comes to your daughter's behavior (discipline) and moral issues.

Keep in mind safety, cleanliness, caring.

Answer 3

As much as you would like to see your child in a older classroom this will probaly not happen. She will not be moved into a two year old room until she reaches the age of two and then you might have to wait a few months due to the number in the toddler class room who have not turned three yet. I'm sure though that the school will move her to the next room as quickly as possible.

Answer 4

i dont think thats a good idea to put them in an older kids group. then ure kid will prob bcome like super boastful and bossy etc..and as a 12 year old i think thats soo annoying when kids act like that. she will b able to go into GT(gifted and talented) l8r...day care isnt that important..learning social skills at that age is more important i think.

mayb u can put her in a nicer day care or something where she can learn more?

gosh, its day care!!!!

....hope u find something that works out! ^o^
