Sorry, you're having a bad day! I don't know if you have a conversation with parents prior to starting but I encourage them to get their child on one nap and eating real foods before they start. I explain that there will be a lot of changes and emphasize that this will help their child adjust better to care. Might be something to think about when going forward.

I have a new one this week too! He is doing really well, not crying and sleeping well however he is a bit of a bully. He splashes the other kids at the water table (like literally throws cups of water in their face), rams shopping carts into other kids. We will see how it goes. He isn't quite 2 yet but when I mentioned it to dad he discounted a lot of it that "he thinks he's just playing with them." I said that is fine, but it is not OK and we are going to curb it now. I already see a difference with small interventions e.g. taking away his cup at the water table, taking away the shopping cart, leaving him in his highchair after lunch until its his turn to get his diaper changed so he is supervised etc. Hopefully things get better.
