Sanidia Oliver

Deciding when to enroll your child in daycare is an important step for many families. At Morgan’s Early Care Connection in Atlanta, GA, we offer daycare for 2, 3, and 4-year-olds, providing a nurturing, educational environment that supports your child’s early development.


Starting Daycare at Ages 2, 3, and 4

Morgan’s Early Care Connection is designed specifically for children between the ages of 2 and 4. Here’s what to expect for each age group:

  1. 2-Year-Olds: At this age, children are beginning to develop their social and motor skills. Our daycare program helps them explore the world around them through play-based learning and interactive activities.

  2. 3-Year-Olds: As children grow, they become more curious and engaged in group activities. Our curriculum for 3-year-olds emphasizes language development, social interaction, and the building of foundational skills in a nurturing environment.

  3. 4-Year-Olds: By age 4, children are preparing for preschool or kindergarten. Our program focuses on experiential learning, critical thinking, and hands-on projects to prepare them for their next educational step.

When to Enroll

While many families enroll their children at the age of 2, others choose to wait until their child is 3 or 4, depending on their needs. Here are a few factors to consider when deciding the right time to start:

  • Social Readiness: If your child is showing interest in playing with other children and participating in group activities, it may be the perfect time to enroll.

  • Routine and Structure: Daycare provides structure and routine, which can help children transition to a school setting.

  • Developmental Needs: At Morgan’s, we focus on meeting each child at their developmental stage, providing support in areas like communication, emotional regulation, and problem-solving.


How to Prepare for Daycare

Once you’ve decided to start daycare, it’s important to prepare your child for the transition:

  • Visit the Center: Bring your child to visit our daycare so they can become familiar with the environment and meet our teachers. You can book a private tour of Morgan's here.

  • Discuss Daycare Positively: Talk to your child about all the exciting things they’ll do at daycare, like playing with friends and learning new skills.

  • Create a Routine: Establishing a morning routine before daycare starts can help ease the transition for your child.


Conclusion

Morgan’s Early Care Connection offers a nurturing and engaging environment for children aged 2, 3, and 4, with a focus on experiential learning and social development.
