Sound familiar?
The first drop-off doesn't have to be dreaded.
- "Will they cry all day without me?"
- "How do I prepare them — and myself — for the separation?"
- "The start date is set, and the days are running out."
You're not overreacting. Starting daycare is one of the first big transitions in a child's life — and it goes so much better with a calm, step-by-step plan made for your child.

Hi, I'm Eloisa
