I always want the best for our children, but I must decide well.

The high price of maintaining a caregiver, the concern for the safety of the children and the desire to fill the daily life of children with relevant activities are aspects that put in check one question: what path to take when the family has to work and Do not know where to leave the children? It was in the middle of this context that the institutions of integral education emerged, which aim to teach content to children, in addition to offering specific activities that stimulate creativity and provide well-being. There are sports classes, music, art projects and much more! But the doubt about what may be better for your children still persists?

Comprehensive education
Betting on appropriate teaching methods and activities that develop cognitive skills, the comprehensive school has a complete structure to meet the needs of children. In most cases, most of the people who dedicate themselves to teaching have a number of benefits in that integral school:

Help in the adaptation process.
One of the main difficulties for children in a comprehensive school is to stay longer than usual away from parents. Therefore, in the first days, the children are usually reluctant, showing signs of dissatisfaction. Fully aware of the difficulty of this process, the comprehensive schools have specific professionals that help in the adaptation. Conversations, playful exercises and accompaniment: the team uses various pedagogical strategies to facilitate the insertion of new students in the school universe.

Mix the ludic and the learning
Some parents who analyze the possibility of enrolling their children in this type of education may ask themselves: but what do the children do in the comprehensive school?
With a complete structure, offering special spaces, the institution bets on a pedagogical proposal suitable for children, in addition to activities that stimulate the development of their cognitive and social skills. The arts (theater, dance, choral and music) also complement the curricular grid. Remember that the simple act of playing already motivates learning.

In addition to the pedagogical purposes, the guidelines of the comprehensive program encourage the potential of young people, creating a favorable environment for the development of multiple skills.
The ability to read, write, calculate and logical thinking, for example, are some of the benefits provided by that method. And we can not forget the spatial intelligence and the kinesthetic, interpersonal, musical and intrapersonal capacities acquired by the implementation of the ludic alternative to a programmatic line of education (main characteristic of integral education).

Promotes interaction between children
Running, playing and communicating: the integral school encourages interaction with other classmates. And it is more than knowing that the contact with other children is fundamental in the social and educational development of any young person, configuring itself as an important instrument of the learning process. It is through this interaction that the child incorporates cultural instruments and builds his own knowledge. The result is perceptible: happier children, who are more and more open to new experiences.

Has a trained team
As it is not enough to have a quality structure, the integral school also invests in qualified professionals to perform an impeccable work with the children. In most cases, these institutions have, in addition to a general coordinator, responsible monitors of total care with children. The team as a whole understands the importance of treating each student as a different individual and, therefore, unique. With this thought, professionals assign students the necessary attention, developing teaching plans that match the level of students, which are grouped according to age.

However, before selecting the right school for your child, it is necessary to know the institution as a whole. The aspects such as teaching methodology, safety, internal values, hygiene and even the quality of the furniture must be analyzed. Only in this way will it be possible to opt for an integral school that is in agreement with the social and cultural contexts of the individual, guaranteeing the maximum integration of the child.

Caregivers
Currently, the hiring of nannies to care for children has been reassessed. Even allowing for daily contact with parents and more flexible schedules, will a third party be able to take care of your child?

We describe below the main characteristics of the service that a caregiver can make available as responsible for the child, in addition to general aspects inherent in the service.

Caring versus educating.
Possibly, a caregiver will take care of your child very well. But attention: caring is totally different from educating! In this context, the nanny is configured as a person responsible for basic tasks of the child's routine, such as making sure the schedule of meals, take to the bathroom, keep company and check if everything is fine. However, the presence of this professional will not necessarily guarantee that your child will take advantage of the time in the best way.
Without parental supervision, children have the habit of abusing technological resources and spend hours doing pure entertainment activities, such as watching television, playing video games or surfing the internet. And the truth is that it does not fit the nanny to stipulate schedules, or even to guide children on the proper use of such devices. Always remember that, after all, she is there only to take care of her son and not to educate him.
This mission continues being of the parents, with the aid of the scholastic institutions.

Practicing detachment while the child is still small is often a difficult task for parents, a factor that usually motivates them to hire a caregiver. After a careful selection, evaluating the character, training and previous experiences of the candidate, parents should be attentive to the flexibility of the professional. Think carefully: dealing with children requires an extra dose of patience and a malleable personality because at work unforeseeable situations will arise that will require waist play. Cost vs. benefit We know that hiring a caregiver or even enrolling your children in directed tasks, time is a considerable investment these days. While with a caregiver we have charges such as regular remuneration, driving, contributions, taxes, vacations, 13th salary, uniforms, food, the extra hour and health plan, in the school we have one more plot, in addition to the regular period.

The point to be considered is:
Is it not more advantageous to bet on an integral school, which possibly has a corresponding value and will still collaborate with the full development of the child?

source
In addition to the financial issues, parents should also analyze what will be best for the future of the children, making sure that the decision will be beneficial for all. However, if the doubt persists, try the two options and discover, in practice, which is the ideal alternative!
