I have an 11 month of starting soon, and I can't decide how is best to start. She will be full time M-F by mid-November. I want to do a couple half days the week before so she can get used to me. I worry that she would be expecting her mom early all the time. Has anyone started with a few hours in the afternoon? So she learns when pick up time is? Any insights? The youngest I have taken so far is a 14mo, and he never had a transition (likely due to multiple caregivers from birth because Mom was in school).
