In the beginning, i absolutely loved this daycare/preschool. My child was in the care of ms.joyce and he loved it, which in turn made me very comfortable.he was switched because of his age and has been unhappy every since which causes me worry daily
I ask the teacher if she has a job for my son to do. He gets so excited to have a special job assigned to him (like putting out the toys, etc.), that he follows her away to do it which enables me to slip out. Once I'm out of sight, he does great!
This behavior can indicate any number of precursors at various ages. The number one thing each teacher must do is develop a relationship with the parent. The teacher will learn about the parenting practices, the child’s personality, temperament, likes and dislikes. When the parent drops off their child, it is important for the parent to verbalize that they trust the caregiver and that they are leaving their child in the care of someone who will look out for their child’s best interest. A good foundation will not only reduce this behavior but will provide the educator with insight on strategies that will work specifically with that individual child.

You don't say how old your child is. There is a difference between a 2-3 year old and a kindergartener. Learn the morning routines, a smart teacher will be sure to have something engaging going on. Encourage your child to join in and say "bye"
The practice runs are a great idea. Also make sure it's the right place for your child! Too often our culture wants kids to "cry it out". Trust your instincts on whether crying indicates a justifiable fear (i.e., uncompassionate staff) or adjustment

I took mine by couple times before actual start date to become familiar with teacher and surroundings it was still tough couple days just reassure her that shes gonna do great and I be back before she knows it
Your child will take their cues from you. If moms not worried they soon won't be. If mom lingers and wrings her hands you can bet little Johnny will be crying. Use a quick routine each morning and you teach your child that they can depend on you.
The staff at the daycare is good at assisting. I give her big hug and kisses give her hand to the teacher and just turn to walk away with "bye baby girl, have a great day"
