Helping Children With Child Care Many children have a hard time when they start child care. Child care is a new place with new people.
Children feel safe when they are with family or others they know well.
Until they know the teacher, they may not feel safe. They do not understand time. It can be hard for parents to leave their children, too. Parents want the joy of helping their child grow and learn new things. It can be hard for parents to share their child's love with someone else, like a child-care provider.
