I have been a daycare teacher for 6 years and have a step daughter and two sons all under the age of 6 (we were busy). I have been on both sides... a teacher receiving children and a mother handing over her own child to a teacher. Most of the time if the child cries at drop off they will stop crying within the first 5 mins. of their parents leaving the room. I've also noticed that it usually takes a child around 2 weeks to adjust to a new setting. I have met some kids that just don't like being there at daycare at all. If their parent seems reluctant, they pick up on that. And honestly, you gotta be lucky and hope that the teachers are good. I've come across daycare teachers that shouldn't be there. Daycare teachers are severly underpaid and overworked. I could probably write a book about my experiences. And directors are quick to back up the teacher even if they're in the wrong. If you're gut is telling you something is wrong, trust it. I'm not saying daycare is bad, you just have to be lucky and find a good one. Sorry for the novel.

My daughter is now 15 months old. She has been in daycare since she was 3 months. I love my daycare! Anyway, at around 9 months she went through her mommy phase when she would cry when I had to drop her off at daycare. It only lasted about 3 weeks and she was back to normal. Well, she hit the 14 month mark and moved to the toddler room and out of the infant room. She was very attached to her teachers and now she has 2 new teachers. She HATES it. They said she cries most of the day. When I leave her in the morning it breaks my heart. I've met with the teachers and I like them. All the other kids like them fine. (My nephew is also in there). I was hoping that being with kids she was also in the infant room with would help, but it doesn't. What do I do? I want to help her, but I don't know how. She has never been one to act ugly like she is doing. Whenever she was uncomfortable around someone, she would just stare at them, but she wouldn't cry. Has anyone else gone through this???
P.s.-they had to ban the infant room teachers from visiting b/c she would throw such a fit when they would leave too!
