Update: HE STOPPED CRYING!! First he stopped crying a few minutes after his parents dropped him off, then he started gabbing and smiling. Now he doesn't cry even while being dropped off. He still cries randomly for new reason, but I'm still learning his cues. I've also yet to hear him laugh, but he's smiling a lot and talking a lot. He's even getting excited! Today, his aunt picked him up from daycare and he didn't want to go! He cried for me when I handed him over! Made me feel SO amazing!
I'm still struggling with him crying when he wakes up with naps and that doesn't seem to be letting up, but we'll figure that out. I have hope! Yay!! Thanks everyone for your help!

Woohoo! Isn't that a great feeling when it finally happens? Some children take a really long time to feel comfortable at daycare, they are all very different.
I really believe that if you are patient and keep your routines consistent so the children learn how every day will transition for them they just fall into it naturally after a few months. I have a 4 year old boy who has NEVER ONCE napped for his parents but has napped every afternoon here for over 3 years. Why? Because he knows EXACTLY what to expect from me and from our days and routines. It's wonderful when everything runs smoothly every day.
