[quote=Anonymous]Our day care switches from bottle in the infant room to open cup in the toddler 1 room (which starts at 12 months). HOWEVER, the infant room teachers start working with the babies on this skill starting at 9 months, so they have 3 months to get the hang of it. The kids in the toddler 1 room still get one bottle (young ones) or sippy cup (older ones) before nap time. I believe the bulk of the kids in the classroom (12-21 months, roughly) are in a buggy for walks with some of the kids holding hands with a teacher. The switch to just walking (perhaps with a rope? I'm not sure) likely happens in the twos room, which starts at roughly 21 months. And I'm sure some transition is expected.

The fact that your daughter is new to the center & they don't appear to be willing to work with her through this (obviously large) set of transitions seems like a red flag to me. If these were the expectations upfront & they weren't expecting to work with your daughter on them, they should have said so from the get go.[/quote]
