How do they potty train at daycare centers?

No idea...Ian goes to in home and its a collaborative effort...we're working on it at home and at daycare. I know she has him try everyday, and they read potty books. We go on the potty every morning and try in the evenings and before bath. We've had success, but we aren't pushing hard either, just going with his cues.

It completely depends on the center and the teachers in the classroom.

When I was a teacher at a center, I always recommended that the parents would just start putting their kid in underwear one day, bring lots of extra clothes to change into, and we'd go from there. We usually started putting kids on the potty at changes right away in the classroom. But actual "potty training" was usually an all or nothing kind of thing.

We only ever did pull ups at nap unless parents requested them more often. I always advised against them for any other time, though.

Thanks for the input I was just unsure how it works & Aiden is 80% PT at with us but has yet to go at DC. So I was wondering if maybe it was a daycare thing. Plus I don't think his teachers are all cool with him PT (odd I know) I told the director yesterday (as I could not find his teacher, to early in the day) how they need to remove one of pants legs & how he was doing so well at home (dry all night) & she was really shocked as if I was telling her I PT a Bird. BUT I would LOVE to put him in underwear & say Good luck

I think this is just something I have to deal with.

I know at my center they time it. So every so many minutes all the PTing kids go sit and try to go potty. Eventually they start to get it. At this point DS will go on command, but rarely initiates going on his own.

How's center's strategy is how I would expect a center to do it. (in addition to bringing kids potty when they ask)

But, I would argue that a child is not potty trained if they can't/don't speak up when they have to go. Also, if you (general you) want your child potty trained, they need to be taught how to pull down/up their own pants, wipe, etc.

Payne, in your situation, he probably isn't speaking up because everything is so new. If he is genuinely near-trained at home, he'll pick it up at school once he is comfortable there.
