The first few years in the life of a child are fundamental for its development. In those years children learn the basics for their social behaviour, their social integration and the ongoing educational process. Neglects in the early childhood development are difficult and expensive to compensate later on.
Since language abilities are a substantial part for the educational and developmental process of each child, language support is a central feature in the early childhood education. The use of special methods in day care facilities prepares children for the next educational steps and offers them great opportunities to learn social skills, such as sharing with others, asserting themselves but also to become aware of boundaries.
Apart from the educational level of the parents, the use of early childhood educational and care-taking opportunities will have a positive bearing on the course of education of the children and their anticipated income. This is a result of a research conducted by the Bertelsmann Foundation (published March 2008) on the economic benefit of early childhood education. The probability to go to Gymnasium increased for children who went to nursery school from 36 to 50 per cent. With Abitur the probability to obtain 230,548 Euros (before tax) more income on average increases. According to the study, the increased probability of finishing the Abitur per child that went to day care programmes results in an average additional income of around 21,000 Euros (value of the life income including employer contributions to social insurances). Minus the costs for the nursery there is a remaining economic benefit of around 13,000 Euros per child.
A company run childcare facility clearly represents a family friendly business culture. This positive image has an impact on the employees and their children. The former children keep “their” childcare facility as a special memory and multiply this positive image into the next generation and to the outside world. Old connections are reinforced and new connections are established. It is up to you to optimally support the early childhood education, to offer individual access to education and with this lay a foundation for competent future employees.
