Time and patience sound like the key for this child. I just accepted a 2.5 year old child who was at a daycare centre and it has taken 2 months to undo whatever the heck they did to him there! But his parents were horrified at the way he cried when they took him there in the morning and some other things that I won't mention and I've had him with me for 2 months and he is an entirely different boy. The parents love me so much for helping them get their happy boy back. I wonder if you are in the same situation?
I would walk him through your days and maybe use the shadowing technique with him following you or one of the older children around alternately to learn about daycare life and routines. I believe that my routine of breakfast, busy mornings (inside or outside), lunch, nap, freeplay til pickup becomes ingrained into the children.
I had one little boy here for 3 1/2 years who never napped one single day for his parents but napped for 2 hours here every single day. I could cite 100 other examples of the differences between children at home and at my daycare. But it all boils down to this. Our daily routines are important and healthy for the children.
