Family Academy Toddler Camp? Nervous Mom seeking opinions...

[Anonymous]

My child started at the FA in the infant room and I think she had a really wonderful experience there and in the Junior Toddler room. She recently started in the Toddler Camp and I just…don’t get the same vibe. It doesn’t seem to be nearly as warm of an environment and she clearly doesn’t get excited about being dropped off there in the morning, like she did in the junior toddler room.

I know there have been posts on this in the past, but I could really use some opinions from parents of kids currently in that room or that have been there. Am I just being over-sensitive to the change and a normal bout of separation anxiety? Or is there a reason I’m so apprehensive? Thanks in advance!

This is just normal when you move from one room to the other!The teachers are fond and caring as the others.
The teachers and your toddler need a little time.I went thru this myself! Just like whats happening to you!!

Both my children had the same teachers and I know they are still in the Toddler rm.Give it a little time!
My son had a hard time adjusting but my daughter had no problem!.Daughter is younger.
My children are now 5 and 3, still at Family Academy.

The toddler camp room is the one with Miss Rima right? My daughter had a bit of a time adjusting but that room has the best teachers at FAB IMO. The goal in the room is to make the children more independent. It is hard for the children to adjust at first but I am sure your child will be happy to go to school in the next two weeks.

I'm the OP.

I can report that my daughter does seem to be adjusting nicely and seems happy, or at least content, to be dropped off in the mornings. She even reaches out her arms for the teacher when we arrive. When we pick her up, we find her happily playing. We also received a very nice detailed card from "the teachers" at the end of her first week about how she was doing and how quickly she was acclimating. I feel confident that she is being treated well and enjoying her days.

That being said, I realize that not all of the responses here are from actual parents. I'm OK with that. If there are any other FA moms out there that have opinions to share that didn't want to put it on this forum, you can email me at katefulton-at-gmail.com.

Thanks!
