What does your transition schedule look like for new kids? Do you have one or do they just come to care without transition days? I am contemplating either modifying my schedule or eliminating it altogether.
My schedule is as follows for part time care:
Visit with parent for up to an hour, parent leaves and child stays for another hour. Child is picked up before lunch.
Parents stays for 10-15minutes, child stays and has lunch, then goes home. I may attempt an afternoon nap if child is so far adjusting well.
Regular day with parent at home if child is adjusting well.
I am not sure if a transition into care helps in any way really because the kids who didn’t adjust never adjusted and the kids who did, did! I have always done it this way and most of my kids adjust just fine.
What do you do
