Response from the owner · 8 months ago

Crying on day one is normal. Especially for ones that have never been in childcare. Your child actually had a very good day all together. I know as a parent it is hard to see your child upset especially when they cry at pickup. It is normal and when they acclimate to being picked up and dropped off consistently that subsides. The teacher has had several years of experience and has not had a complaint since being employed with us. I really hope your family finds care that fits your needs and expectations.
