It also depends whether the baby is a boy or girl

Special care and attention has to be given to furnishing for the baby’s nursery like treating its wall, floor and furniture. Keeping the walls with warm and bright colours like yellow, red and blue increases baby’s constantly developing senses.For the flooring wooden flooring is the best as growing babies tend to fall so as to reduce the injuries to the head.

For the windows a set of blinds is also a very good idea.  Organize playing toys which are innovative and also with attractive colours in the low lying shelves or in a toy box which are easily accessible. Night lights are another important factor in baby nursery. Use of a dimmer switch is also recommended for the baby’s nursery, as the light intensity can be varied.

So care should be taken to ensure that they no sharp or pointed objects which can hurt the baby. The baby may swallow any thing available, so there should no small plastic balls or toys in the vicinity.

Most children who are about 2 years old are enrolled in preschools. Most kindergarten ask for information about the preschool.  Unlike conventional schooling, preschool children learn more by observing, playing , touching and interacting with other children. So children should have a nurturing environment. The child should express himself  or herself freely and their creativity should not be suppressed.

The playschool should be secure for children and designed so that children can play safely.  The staff should be well trained to facilitate the development of  the child.

More care has to be taken  of  very young children, so a child care center for children less than 3 years old will have to be equipped accordingly. The children will also have to be trained, so the staff to children ratio is usually higher. As the children grow older, they are busy with their own activities and require less individual attention. The number of  staff required is less and the fees are correspondingly lower.

The smallest child care centers are run from home, often by parents who have small children themselves. They usually market their services through referrals in their neighborhood. Due to space and staff  constraints, they usually can admit only a few children at a time.  Many are not covered by local licensing requirements. Since they have lower overheads, and are often run by stay at home mothers looking for some additional income, their charges are usually low.

Many schools have a provision for child care after school hours. The teachers are trained to take care of  the needs of  their students and help them with their home work. This arrangement is convenient for parents, as they have to drop off and pick up all their children from a single place. Government funding is often available for these child care centers.

There are a few large chains of  child care centers, which operate on a franchise basis  and have centers in various cities. These child care centers have specialized staff, but studies have shown that the same amount of attention is paid to a child in a large child care center and a smaller center run out of a home.  Some large companies have child care centers at their office premises for employees who have your children. These centers are usually outsourced to larger child care center chains.
