Ugh, I can't believe I cried at daycare drop off, first time ever.
The last 2 weeks DD has been visiting her new room. Some days they said she cried, other days she was fine. Monday was her first full day and drop off in the new room. DH did the drop off and said it was bad and he didn't really like the teachers. I was sad it was a bad drop off, but kinda blew it off.
Today I did drop off. It was HORRIBLE. She even started crying on the way to school. Then hysterical when we got in the room. I introduced myself to the teachers and tried chatting a bit....although they weren't as chatty and personable as DD's last teachers.
I kissed DD and tried to quickly leave the room. She started doing that toddler stomping feet thing yelling for me not to go. One of the teachers started doing the same stomping feet thing saying "I don't know what you're doing but you need to tell us what cereal you want for breakfast".
I'm probably being way oversensitive and just having a bad morning....but to me, that teacher was mocking her.
I know it takes time to adjust and she'll probably be just fine, but it's hard for me to get past that mocking and the not so great vibe I got from both of them. I know the afternoon teacher (she helped in DD's previous room). When I picked DD up yesterday that teacher said she did fine....but she's super nice and DD really likes her.
Ugh, this sucks, thanks for letting me vent.

This was day 3 and DD did not cry in the car on the way to daycare, but had a total meltdown when we got to the room. I hadn't really had a chance to talk to the lead teacher so I sat down and held DD while we talked. Lead teacher seemed ok. The assistant teacher that mocked DD was there but didn't say a word, she just said quietly watching the other kids play.
So not a great drop off with all the crying, but at least the teachers didn't do anything to enrage me! I could go to the director about the mocking, but she'll be in that room for a year and I don't want there to be "awkward tension"....but if there's another incident I'll go to the director or say something directly to the teacher.
This is my first time experiencing any crying at drop off and I'm not handling it well
