[quote=Anonymous]My kids (7mo/3/4) just moved to a daycare (its very small and we're in a state with very low covid numbers). They have had a nanny for three years and she recently quit. I found a small 12 kid center that could take all three and instead of infant class/toddler class etc they are kind of all together. I thought this would be a good transition from the nanny situation because they were all together.

But every morning I get a long fight of 'I don't want to go to daycare' 'I don't like daycare' etc. It's been about two weeks. I think that the 3 year old is really fine just picking up on what his big sister is saying. Her biggest complaint seems to be the nap situation, but I think just generally she is having a hard time adjusting to a much more structured and rule heavy environment. She is supposed to start K in September and who knows what that will even look like. I'm torn between finding a new place for her temporarily, putting her in preschool and just skipping this COVID school situation and starting K next year, or just having her suck it up. She likes the people, the other kids, and I like that our covid bubble is limited and am concerned by what adding another facility will throw into the mix.

If you had a kid that went to daycare/preschool after a long period with a nanny how long did it take them to get with the new program? I don't want to feel like I'm torturing her, but I also need to do what's right for our family and for a lot of reasons, keeping her there for at least the next 6 weeks is the right call. [/quote]
