    He's very young, I would try a more nurturing approach to help ease his fears or sadness. Something is up, and he needs help calming down...maybe he needs to rebuild trust, or is going through a severe separation anxiety phase. How long has this been going on for? It seems like maybe only for a few days? But I can feel your stress, so something has to give. In order to secure trust and a bond with one of my dc babies was to hold her...as often as I could, all day in some cases even if I was just sitting on the floor. And if I couldn't hold her, I would wear her in my boba wrap. She needed that extra closeness, and loved the security of the wrap. After a week or so she began to slowly venture out to play with toys, knowing I wasn't going anywhere on her, and she has since been a dream dck!
    Maybe try coming at it from an empathetic angle and see if any progress is made over a week...if no progress...time to go

    Holding hasn't been helping. Even at home when mom and dad hold him while screaming it just escalates. I can see all your suggestions working wonders if this was just a daycare behavior...but he is doing this at home as well. He has been refusing food at home (he used to eat anything and everything and tons of it). Something is up...and I don't think it's just daycare related.

    I wore one of my other dck for the first weeks and she is now the easiest child ever. But it just doesn't work for this one.

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
Updates
We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
