Kelly its so hard to see your little one not adapting.

Matilda had a horrendous time at CC. She wouldn't eat or sleep the entire time she was there. She would cry for hours.... that is why we tried Montessori, because there is more "structure" but its free as well. She thrived there, except the occasional social play ground issues. At first, she was scared of going & did the same things Elijah does, she would cry as I was getting her dressed and sob on the way there. I found out 2 weeks into it that it was the bell they rang for the children to go to class or listen. The sound upset her so much, so the teachers started telling Matilda that they were going to ring the bell & she was fine from then on.

Both my girls have thrived in Family Day Care, and they would go to playgroup with the carer to get socialisation and they both loved it.
