[quote=Anonymous]I had a very similar situation. We ended up switching preschool's and the crying stopped almost immediately. The previous posters are right - you need to figure out if it's the separation she doesn't like, or the school/teacher that she doesn't like. In our case, it was definitely the latter. We switched from Montessori to play-based, FWIW. Montessori isn't a good fit for all kids. I would ask to meet with the teacher privately and ask for her candid feedback on whether your child seems happy/engaged at school throughout the day, setting aside the drop-off transition. If the answer is that your kid isn't happy or engaged most of the time at school, then I'd switch schools - and maybe consider play-based instead of Montessori. If she's happy other than drop-off, then you could consider delaying preschool for awhile longer or just stick it out and make the drop-off as quick as possible. Maybe try having the other parent or a nanny drop off if possible - my kid always had the hardest time separating from me.[/quote]
