I recently discovered an initiative that I thought was great. It is a service offered by “Enbrazos.” It is a playful, pedagogical and practical alternative for parents and their babies, a new concept for Spain but which already has a long journey and is having great success in countries like Argentina , Chile and the US It is about Rolling Gardens, an ideal alternative to daycare.
A Rolling Garden It is a special child care service for small groups of children, from three to five children, and with similar ages between 18 months and 5 years. It is a very familiar and close way to offer them the attention and fun that many parents expect from daycare centers but which, due to a rigid organization and schedule or by the largest number of children, is very difficult to achieve.
In addition, children do not go to a center, but it is the educator who goes to their homes, on a rotating basis, so that they will spend a few days in each house, agreeing between parents what is the best way to organize each specific group . The children spend about three hours at the meeting and it takes place on weekdays.
The attention is much more personalized and the environment more familiar, parents can be present so that the work done with children is completely transparent and a climate of trust between parents and educators is enjoyed. At that time parents can be with them contemplating their games or engage in activities they want at home or abroad.
Many parents who do not take children to school at these ages find it difficult to offer safe spaces and friends to play with daily and would also like to have a couple of hours a day to work at home or go shopping or to the gym, so that I think this idea of Rolling Gardens It can adapt very well to your needs.
