First day of daycare tomorrow and I’m a nervous wreck!!! Are there any suggestions/tips for reassurance to my 3 year old that I’m not far from her. She’ll definitely struggle without me close by but I want her to know I’m there, always.
How have you labelled your child’s belongings? Just with a marker?
Please & thank you!! If you can think of anything please let me know!! 💛

I just label with a marker. I didn't do this because both of my kids started childcare as babies, but I've heard of other parents giving their kids something matching, like a bracelet (of first would just be a cheap one, given that it may get lost) and telling their toddlers/kids that that it's a special connection between them.
Try to just make it about going there to have fun, play with Friends, do activities etc. it's hard at the start but you'll both get through it
