I agree. The easiest transitions work with the cold turkey approach.

OP.....make sure you are on board with using the same techniques your provider uses with regard to parenting. It makes it less of a transition from home to daycare.

Personally, I think you should just drop your daughter off in the morning and let her stay whole days. I bet by this time next week she will be crying a whole lot less if you do that.
