Update!! Success!! After 2 days of being sat in the timeout chair for every meltdown, decreasing every day until 2 whole days WITHOUT any meltdowns, things are harmonious again!! We haven't been able to shake the last meltdown when parents arrive but I'll take it! Thanks much for the helpful advise, until next time

That's amazing news! As far as the meltdown when parents arrive, have you tried getting her ready at the door before parents arrive? My closing always runs smoothly because they are ready, parents are outside at the door and off they go, no opportunity to have any meltdown. I do the same when we are outside at the gate. Hope that helps!
