Hello everyone! Just looking for some advice. I'm a parent of a 1yr old who just went through her first week of transitioning to a daycare. To make a long story short, it went horribly. My daughter screamed the entire time she was there (she went on Tuesday for 1hr, Wednesday for 1.5hr and on Friday for 3hrs). I am actually quite surprised about her reaction to daycare, as we did a tonne of programs when I was on maternity leave, and most of the time she would take off and play with the other kids and could care less if I was there. I have absolutely no concerns with the daycare provider - she's been great considering what she has had to endure LOL! Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for making her transition a little easier (I already send her with two blankies from home and I'm going to try sending her favourite DVD to the daycare on Tuesday). Also, I want to get the daycare lady a little something to thank you for having to deal with my SCREAMING daughter last week! Any ideas on what I should get her (just something small)

Thanks!
