Changing Daycares- 10 Month Old

I would call the provider and arrange a couple days that maybe he could go for an hour... Just so he can get used to the dropping off and momma always comes back idea.

I have myown inhome daycare and I can say its always worse when the parents dally... When you drop them off do it quickly and then scoot out the door. Always with a smile on your face and remain relaxed. Even if he's crying, GO!! With you out of sight then the provider can pull out her magic and calm him right down. :-) I have never had to call a parent because a child was not calming down... When you return make it light. I'm here... Quick hug... Not I MISSED YOU SOO MUCH!!! While you cling to him for dear life... That sends the wrong message... Give a quick hug and ask things like what did you do today? Wow, that sounds like FUN!! :-)

Since he is used to going to care its really not going to shock him about being dropped off... Just that its somewhere new... So try a quick visit without you there and he'll have no problems!

The in home center needs to have at least 2 teachers...the ratio by law is 1-4 kids under 2.5.

He will transition easier than you. Don't linger at drop off...

I have an in home daycare/preschool program. I have an opening.
I would suggest letting him bring a "comfort" item from home like a blankie or stuffed animal.
He may need the extra attention and the "homelike" atmosphere of an in home daycare.
Start him a few half days his first week of new daycare.
Good luck:)

I just want to throw out there, have you considered someone coming to your home??? If your son is used to having one on one attention, it might be easier to have him at his own home and it would sure make the transition a lot easier. Just my 2 cents! hope it helps = : )
