ugh !! seriously cant do it !!!! I would say the crib in a dark room to stop all extra stimulation is what I would do. I cant remember the dck age but that is the route I would go. I only had one who screamed and I did it for a month , only 2 days a week and I couldnt function . Circle time, crafts ugh how could you concentrate ?
Im supporting giving the notice , prob because I would !!

Bright Sparks...if she is different than any other transitions you have done, is it possible that she may have a medical issue? Could she be slightly autistic? I am just thinking that comparatively, maybe you are seeing something the average person is not simply because of your extensive child experience.
I feel bad for you, the child, and the parents. No one is happy.

No not at all. As I said previously, this child has had absolutely no social interaction. Her mother had no car all through the 12 months of maternity leave and apparently wasn't within walking distance of a store or a park so she was basically home all day M-F and weekends was sometimes visits with family, but mom was always by her side. No opportunities at early years centres for play group where mom could sit back at a distance and allow her to learn to play independently. Mom had no friends with children so had very little social interaction herself. She grocery shopped in the evenings once her husband was home. Pair this with a child who has a very stubborn and hot headed temperament. She also acts like this somewhat at home if she doesn't get her own way or wants mums full attention but doesn't get it at that very second. She is your classic separation anxiety child with additional attachment issues as she has spent the majority of the first year with only 1 person with very minimal variance.

So as an update I am seeing some improvements. She will be held now which is a relief to a certain extent so when she gets hysterical she will snuggle with me and stop. She will also sit on my knee and read. Eating is sporadic but she has napped to some extent each day this week so far. This is all I can ask for during a difficult transition. Hope....I am actually a bit relieved although sometimes the screaming is just insane and seemingly for no reason at all, but she is gradually getting there. I wont hold her constantly, goodness no, but I do know that just complete disconnect from her makes things worse so we are doing a gradual detachment. Yesterday I managed to sit her on the floor next to me. She screamed for a bit but I got her to lay her head on my leg and she stopped and started talking. After her nap she sat with my daughter, 13, who read her a story while I used the washroom and there were no tears so I am hopeful now that things will only get better even if its slowly but surely.
