I don't do transitions...never really heard of it. It would be confusing to have both there. I do "integration" where the child starts for maybe an hour or two a couple times/week and gradually stays longer and longer more often. This could be over 2 weeks or more if the parent chooses, or less if it's an older child. My most recent was a couple of months, but more to be sure of the spot than anything. Either way, the parent pays fulltime price from the first day the child enters....regardless of how long they're there.
