[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have anybody, but YOU drop her off - grandparents or DH.

Also, why hasn't she had the chance to see the daycare or meet the teacher - not even virtually or zoom??

Have you driven by there together? Talked about it? Give her some context as to what to expect (drop-off at the door, you'll have a snack and lunch there, meet new little friends, activities are XYZ, Mrs. X is your teacher, blah blah blah).  Read some books about going to daycare ("school").

Keep it casual, don't shed your own anxiety onto her, and keep upbeat.

Since it's a kiss & ride -type thing there won't be a lot of hoopla and drawn out good-byes. [/quote]

Talk it up! Drive to the location and have her be familiar with the outside. Drop off must be quick and sweet.
But she will cry and if it’s excessive be prepared for a call to come pick her up. I guess the least cruel thing you can do is bring a bottle of or two of wine at the end of the week for the daycare teachers  :mrgreen: [/quote]
