Personally, I do not transition, as it takes up too much time. I just put them in cold turkey! I'm not a drop-in center, so parents don't spend any time transitioning with them.

IF you wanted to....I would do a week of just mornings, then the second week of picking up right after afternoon nap. Then 3rd week of full-time. BUT...I'd only do that if that's the only child in care. If there are others already in care, no transition time at all.

Hopefully that makes sense! lol Good luck!
