The Advantages of Home Daycare
An estimated 17% of infants and toddlers and 14% of preschoolers are cared for in home daycare or family childcare programs. For parents who are squeamish about placing their children in large childcare settings, smaller daycares can be a breath of fresh air as there are many benefits to this type of care. Here are some of the advantages:
Children Get Individualized Attention
The adult-child ratio in a home daycare is low, generally between 4 and 7 kids -- so it’s not hard for the childcare provider to give the children individualized attention they need to thrive. This is particularly important when providers are caring for infants, as they are demanding and require a lot of care. The smaller size of a family daycare program also makes it easier for the provider to cater to special care instructions for youngsters.
Kids Remain in a Stable Environment
Children who are enrolled in home daycare programs generally stay with the same provider until they transition to preschool. There is no employee turnover, so kids don’t have to adjust to different caregivers every few weeks. Having one provider gives youngsters a sense of stability and enables them to develop a genuine bond with the caregiver, as well as the other kids in her care.
Children are Cared for in a Homelike Atmosphere
With the exception of being cared for by relatives, family daycare is the next best thing to being at home. Unlike the large institutionalized feel of large childcare centers, the environment of a home daycare is warm and inviting to children and parents alike. The atmosphere is controlled and kids have access to all the comforts of home. The homelike environment of a family daycare minimizes behavior problems, and is a great option for kids who don't fare well in large environments.
Home Daycares Offer More Flexibility for Working Parents
Parents with erratic work schedules have a hard time finding large childcare centers that are willing to allow a little wiggle room with pick-up and drop-off times. In a home daycare, the decision to extend business hours is left up to the provider, so they are often more flexible and willing to compromise with parents who have fluctuating work schedules.
Children Get Sick Less Often in Family Daycare Programs
Daycare centers are breeding grounds for germs. The more kids enrolled in a program, the more germs there are. One advantage of a home daycare is that the smaller size reduces the number of illnesses spread to children. The providers of home daycare programs are better able to monitor kids’ hand-washing practices, which helps reduce the spread of germs. Typically, a home daycare provider is more meticulous about cleaning and sanitizing because the daycare business also serves as her family’s living space. When children are sick less often, parents don’t have to lose income or risk getting fired for missing too many days at work.
Consider these advantages and benefits when choosing a home daycare option.

Factors to Consider in Selecting a Daycare
As a parent, you want your child to have the best daycare; settling for second best is not an option. Here are some suggestions to consider in choosing a daycare:
CAREGIVER-CHILD RATIO: In a national childcare study, it was concluded that a ratio of less than five children to one caregiver is optimal in providing quality care to young children. At Ruiz Family Child Care our ratio is never more than one caregiver to four children.
ENVIRONMENT: Children thrive in a daycare setting that is predictable and structured. A regular routine will make your child feel at ease. Equally important is that the facility should be safe and provides the stimulation necessary to promote learning and physical activity. There should be a healthy amount of down time and a schedule that is flexible enough to respond to your child’s individual needs. At Ruiz Family Home Daycare we provide a healthy balance of play, rest and learning to meet the unique character of your child.
COMMUNICATION: Good daycare providers will keep you connected to your baby's day. Whether it is in the form of a daily journal or through regular conversations by email or in person, information about your baby's day should be communicated to you. We at Ruiz Family Home Daycare are available in person, by phone, by email, and even by text messaging, to speak to you at any time about your child.
CARE: Children need love and care, and a daycare provider will be a central figure in your child’s life. The emotional health and welfare of your child is dependent on the bonding he or she is able to make with the daycare provider. Plenty of affection and patience from a stable childcare worker will go a long way in helping your child quickly adjust to time without you. We at Ruiz Family Home Daycare are mothers, too, and have a deep commitment to providing love and care to all children.
