Hi, my little girl is turning 2 at the end of this month and she started preschool yesterday. It did not go well. She is screaming and had a tantrum in the middle of the day. I am just hoping it gets better for her. I feel bad for her teachers but I have also paid for this month and I know she needs to go eventually. Anybody else in the same situation?

It’ll get better once she’s more familiar with the environment! She’s used to her routine being one way and it’s been disrupted. She’s also away from you with people she isn’t familiar with

My daughter was the same way, its a new environment with different people. The first weeks are usually the toughest but once they get into a routine they typically adjust. My daughter went to a daycare luckily my mom worked there but every now and then shed have her moments. I think maybe talking to her about it beforehand, night before - to morning may provide more expectations for her. Once she makes friends and associates with the other children she should adjust fairly well. Hope this helps 🫶

I was a teacher in preschool before and is totally normal for some kids to have those meltdowns. Some kids takes 3 days to adapt, others a week but they will get familiar with teachers and new friends eventually. Talk to her that she will have fun over there and evening she will have fun with you!
