Abstract

Infants learn new things through interaction with other children at
home or a crèche where others are kept for safety by parents as they attend to
various careers.  Even though most
parents may not know exactly the degree to which infants learn as they stay
together at the crèche, this guides their development  with proper facilities put in place by
daycare centres.  The crux here is the
provision of safety facilities in the crèche for proper infant development
during the first six months of child care in the crèche.  The major question here is what is a crèche?
Are crèches safe and reliable? What would the child do at the crèche? Finding
out what infants learn and the safety of being a client at the daycare centre
requires an understanding of the practice in the centre as regards the child
ability to develop with reference to their stages of development which form
coherence to a baby’s world.  Studying
how crèche and safety facilities facilitate infant development needs an
understanding of how crèches are run to stimulate baby’s cognitive and social
abilities for proper integration into the human world. The babies, toddlers and
young children can play, learn, enjoy meals and rest under a safety facility
provision with absolute strangers in a completely new environment with a feel
of comfort and confident at the crèche.
