Daycare transitions

[Widget123]

They don't do the first transition to another room until 18 months at our daycare. Rather they have two different age groups in the infant rooms 2mo-1yo and 1yo-18mo. However, it is not unusual for babies/toddlers to spend time in another infant room or with another room's teacher, so I think this helps with stranger danger a little bit. However, in general, LO does not have stranger danger and DD never did either.

It will take some type for N to adjust, but in general I like the idea of transitioning to the next room up because the older kids are learning/doing new things and it encourages the younger kids to do the same vs. being one of the older kids in the room and possibly getting bored, which I've seen DD experience.

Hugs. Hoping for her to be comfortable soon. It's hard though to watch N be so upset knowing she's in good hands. Hugs to you. And comfort for N.

V transitions into the next room at 12 months, sooner if she's ready but the next teachers do a good job at coming over and they send the kids at nap time or for the afternoon so they get comfortable and aren't freaking out. And v is spoiled bc her aunt is the teacher in the next room...but still....change means she's growing up !

Before Jude moved up to the older baby room, they had him spend a couple of hours a day "visiting" in there so that he could get used to it. I don't know if it's possible, but if your lo is having a hard time, maybe they could do something similar so that she gets some time with her familiar room too.
