Can the daycare center or child care provider help potty train my child quickly?

It starts at home, but your child also learns from others

Children become potty-trained with the help of caregivers. This process begins at home with the parents (or caregivers), but other caregivers can also contribute to it. It is the parents’ responsibility. That is why childcare centers often wait until parents indicate that they have started at home. Does your child attend a childcare center, preschool, or go to a childminder? Then that can certainly help with potty training. Your child sees other children using the potty or the toilet. There are often set routines. Ask your daycare, childminder, or preschool how they handle it and what they can do to support your child. Do you want your child to become potty-trained quickly? Unfortunately, that doesn’t just happen overnight. It can help if you also devote more time and attention to potty training at home. Follow all the steps and don’t rush. Pay close attention to your child. Encourage your child and don’t get angry. Stay persistent and give your child—and yourself—lots of praise.
