Think about the last time you played on the floor with your child for 5 straight minutes. How long has it been? Did it feel relaxing and fun? What did you learn about your child?

As busy parents, we often don’t have time to play with our children. When we do, it can feel like a chore, or we can feel like we have to teach and correct our child the entire time. Daily Care reminds us to step back and just enjoy our children.

• Children learn about the world through play.
• Playing with caregivers helps children develop skills for playing with friends.
• Playing helps children learn words.
• Children act out situations in play to learn how to manage them.
• When parents follow their child’s lead in play, it lets the child know that their ideas are important

When children have daily playtime with their caregivers, they become easier to parent.

• They tend to listen better at other times.
• They tend to seek attention less at other times.

Daily Care lets caregivers make positive memories with their children every day. This gives us more patience when challenging behaviors come up.

Play is an opportunity for shared fun and laughter. This makes relationships stronger.

• Children often share more about their lives with their caregivers.
• Children seek out help more often.
• Children want to spend time with their caregivers.
