Desperately in need of advice!

This new little girl wasn't at Daycare today, but will be starting full time on Monday. She will be my first one to arrive so I will try my best to have some bonding time with her before the rest of the group comes. The problem is that she doesn't want to be near me! She can walk, so when I put her down, she automatically makes a run to the door and sits there and cries! I pick her up take her into the play room show her all the cool new toys to no avail... she runs, crawls, walks... straight to the door! AAAAgh!!
The rest of the kids that I have are really sweet, they are not noisy troublemakers... they all love playing with legos and puzzles etc... I'm really blessed with the group I have right now.... except for this little one that's just a ball of chaos!! LOL!
I feel for the rest of the kids because they keep saying... it's too loud make her stop!!
So I explain to them that she's getting used to the new environment around her and to them as well... the kids understand but still... makes for a lot of grumpy little people by the time she leaves!!
I totally understand that it must be scary for her being left in a place that she's not sure off...
btw... that must have been horrible for you! NY of all places to get lost! Yikes!!
Anyways, I will see how it goes on Monday... nap time is going to be crazy! because if she screams the whole time nobody is going to get any sleep
Thanks again for the feedback and all your wonderful advice, I will post on Monday.

So, Monday was a day full of surprises! Her Mom drops her off, leaves right away, of course the little girl starts screaming at the top of her lungs. I put her in the high chair with her bottle and she settles down. When I see that she's finally in a happy mood I take her down and she starts crying again so I'm holding her taking her to the play room showing her different toys etc.. she would have moments of just observing and taking it all in and then she would start crying again. At lunch time she ate really well, one thing that I'm happy about is that she's a good eater. I always believe.. a full tummy makes for a happy, content baby after lunch a put her in the playpen for her first nap time in my Daycare, so I was ready for not much of a nap just a lot of crying. But, there was my first surprise, she slept for 2 and half hours! and then came my second surprise... when she woke up... she was a different kid! she started playing with the toys, walking around like she owned the place! smiling.. following the rest of the kids... it was amazing! I never thought it would happen so quickly... it's like she transitioned when she was napping!!
Every day this week has been the same, she turned out to be the sweetest little think ever! oh and my third suprise, a little one that I'm pottie training had his first day without any accidents Yay! it's a good start for a much needed long weekend! Hope all you ladies have a wonderful Easter Weekend! We sure deserve the rest!!!
