If you make a complaint to a preschool teacher will she kinda hate you/your kid?

I wouldn’t complain; I’d pull my kid and look for a different school. Unless you’re outside the city, somewhere rural with few options then there should be better schools with more age appropriate expectations. Preschool is NOT the time when you want your kid to hate school.

As a preschool teacher I ask that students greet me but they can choose how. If they are feeling shy for some reason I ask if they are ready to greet me. If they shake their heads or give some other indication I let them continue putting away their things, getting started with morning play. If they don't come to me I try again.

Sounds like a toxic situation for your child. Teacher sounds unhinged.

This is similar to my kids kinder spanish class. She taught them to shake hands (currently elbow bumps) and look her in the eye with a greeting. It was a rough start for several kids who just wanted to look down and run in but now its natural for all of them.

Life has rules and nothing this teacher is doing is extreme. You should do something now to teach your child that the world does not revolve around what she wants. She is a brat.

You must be the teacher in question.

Teacher sounds over the top. Would suggest a different environment for your child. And I am a strict parent.

I would probably either complain or not stay at that school at all. My daughter is 6 now but is very shy , I hate when people say that she’s “too big to be shy” but she hears it constantly from strangers, coaches , librarians,etc. She doesn’t like speaking to them at all after that. I don’t think I’d be able to tolerate my kid’s teacher saying this to them especially at 3 years old. And I don’t think she should be forcing them to have their eyes closed either.

My guess is your daughter is exaggerating the nap thing. Talk to the teacher to get what’s really happening rather than trusting blankly a sensitive 3 year old.
