I'm leaning to this also. I don't think her crying is a sign that she needs more time to adjust. It may be that's she's really uncomfortable there for whatever reason. And it seems a gamble - leave her at center longer until/if she adjusts, or take the crying as a real distress signal and act accordingly?
Personally, I think 2 months is long enough for her to know what the place is about and she's just not having it. I wouldn't force her to be there if other options exist.

I did like the daycare. My 3 year old loved it and never wanted to leave. She was in a different classroom. In my 2 year olds classroom I didn’t see teachers console her or give her attention. I was able to see her on camera and she would be left to cry most of the time. I do agree that 2/days a week was a mistake. My original thought was to start with 2 days and then go full time to help her adjust but that didn’t work out. We have since moved and I am currently looking for a new center for my kids to both go full-time.
