i am an actual home day care carer i care for 4 children under the age of the three and i beleive the younger children benefit more from home day care then big day care centres because it is in a home environment and they only with a small number of children and only one person instructing them what they need to do of having having 5 or more different people insturcting them what to do and getting confused when some people have different ways of teaching the children. in home day care they arave re still doing similar activities to child care centre and still have routines that they follow everyday. in my home day care we still do arts and craft, read stories play outside and some home day cares have playgroups that we go to where we get to interact with other children and carers as well. we also go to the libaray and storie times and i look after babies and i feel they love that one on one intereaction as well like they get when they are at home. from the carer side i love the job i do you get there more one on one intereaction and build strong relationships with the children and the parents. i hope that can help in some way please dont hesiate to ask anymore questions.
