You can try and find a nice light way to tell mom that you expect the child to go with the flow and not against the stream and that consistency will probably make her get used to it faster because she will get the same message in both homes but you can't 100% count on mom following through.
You can suggest and hope she does but there is no guarantee. If she does then it will make it faster for the girl to realize that this is the expectation of her but if not - it will be all you to make her realize the expectations at daycare are not the same as at home.
Either way - she will get it but it depends how long it will take.

This is how daycares end up with kids that are easy to feed, change and go through different parts of the day but parents have difficulties because kids learn what the expectations are at daycare because we tend to be more consistent and unwavering.

Sure we have tons of fun in between but the dck need to know what their expectations are at daycare and that you mean it. Otherwise you end up with daycare kids who are unruly, don't respect you and you end up burning out
