Working at a daycare may not always feel glamorous, but there are numerous benefits that come with the job. We have compiled our top five benefits to share with you.
5 Benefits of Working at A Daycare
- Changing lives
- Downtime
- Fun
- Perspective
- Creativity
You Will Make an Impact
Making an impact is something that isn’t to be taken lightly. So many people who impact someone’s life are later referenced as the person who helped them follow their dreams and achieve happiness and success. For example, Adele recently credited a teacher who helped her find her passion for writing and the arts, which led her to where she is today.
Not only will you make an impact in these kids’ lives, but you could unknowingly make an impact in their parents’ lives as well. Knowing you have the chance to be the person that can significantly impact someone’s life is amazing. So many kids who attend daycare make memorable connections with their teachers that they take with them throughout their schooling and lives.
Your Schedule is Consistent
While many people love working from home, did you know that they usually work twice as much? It isn’t easy to separate work from life when they are both in the same place. Being able to disconnect from work isn’t always easy but working at a daycare allows that balance!
Many daycares close at 6:00 PM and are closed on weekends and major holidays, meaning you never have to swap a shift to make plans with friends and family, and you know that you will have much-needed downtime each night, something many struggle to find.
You Always Get to Have Fun
It isn’t always easy to find ways to bring joy and fun into your life. Luckily, there is an endless supply of that when working at a daycare. Kids bring fun and laughter into every room. Imagine walking into work every day to that laughter, filling your day with joy and smiles. While some days may bring meltdowns, being able to turn that frown into a smile is a gift.
Working at a daycare makes it impossible not to smile! That joy follows you wherever you go and long after the workday is over. After all, we could all use a little more fun in our lives.
You’ll Always Hear a Different Perspective
Gaining a new perspective provides a uniquely personal experience. These experiences can shape your future and guide you to the path you are supposed to be on. While you are making an impact in kids’ lives, they are unknowingly impacting your life as well.
One of the best parts of working with kids is listening to their perspectives. Unjaded by the world around them, they keep it simple and inclusive. Experiencing perspective and excitement through the eyes of a child is a fantastic feeling and helps us focus on the little things in life.
Bring Out Your Creative Side
Have you been holding in your creative beast? When working at a daycare, we encourage you to unleash it. Stop trying to find time for your creative side when it can be part of your day-to-day! Whether it’s painting, building things out of popsicle sticks, or dressing up to tell your favorite stories, working in a daycare is fun for you as well as the kiddos!
See what we mean? Working at a daycare comes with benefits that you can’t find at any old job. Whether it’s making an impact, telling a story, or sharing a love of painting, you are making a difference every day. What more could you ask for?
