[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd try to talk to the teacher. But also trust your gut. Can you go back to the previous daycare at this point?

I reached out to his teacher and await her response. I can definitely send him back to daycare, but I'm going damn near bankrupt trying to pay for it and was really hoping Pre K would work out. I will give it more time, but if he has to go back to daycare, so be it

DCUM, how long should I give him to adjust? Another week? A month?[/quote]

Our kid took about 2-3 months to really adjust. The crying at drop off stopped long before but the after school meltdowns kept regularly up until November. We actually started exploring co-ops and other options for part-time preschool right as kid turned the corner.   PRk 4 was at the same school and just a a few weeks of typical adjustment.  Kindergarten means no naps and the maxed out melt downs are back about half the week but we are better prepared to navigate them.

A lot of people will not like this idea. But if you have the flexibility you could always do a early pick up or  keep him/her at home an extra day for a few weeks as they adjust. You can't keep skipping whole days for forever it will negativity impact class mates in the long run.  A pick up right before they start nap and going home and napping with a parent might be a nice stress break.
