I think R is adjusting to her day care-- it's taken about a week, but she's really settled down. For the first week she was very upset when we dropped her off. Today, though, she settled in happily with her teacher as soon as she saw her and didn't cry at all when I left.
We're working up to having her nap at day care (currently we pick her up and bring her home to nap right after lunch) and J has been picking her up a few minutes later each day. Today when he went she was actually laying down with the other kids although she eventually saw J talking with one of the teachers and got right up. But it looks promising! We hope by the end of the month she'll be happily napping at day care.
She seems to LOVE all the toys and activities they have there. I have to admit I am very impressed with how well-stocked the room is. There are just tons of awesome toys, fun arts and crafts, and books and dress-up and imaginative play items. Just tons of stuff.
We're also really impressed with the teachers. Both of them are amazing with the kids, and seem so knowledgeable about children and what they are capable of doing and what they should be aiming for. We really loved both of the teachers from the first time we met them.
R is the youngest child in her room-- I think the oldest is almost 3 and that most of the others are close to 2 if not already 2-- but the teachers think she's doing fine and learning a lot from watching the other kids.

What was the reason for switching day care providers? It's good to hear she has adjusted pretty well after a week.
ReplyDeletewe had been on a wait list at this particular day care (the best one in town) and finally a spot opened up, so we took it. Plus, we'd been feeling a little bit dissatisfied with her old day care (nothing MAJOR, just little things that made us feel like it wasn't the environment we would ideally create for her). The new place is amazing. And R is definitely happier--like, i really notice a difference in how she is when we drop her off at this place versus when we would drop her off at the other place. it's not like she HATED it but she was not as happy to be dropped off, if that makes sense.
