Did I Make the Right Decision?

Yes, I did. I gave her a few connections. She stayed with him the first day, but all the other days she dropped him off for 6-7 hours. I feel better about my decision. Thanks for all the good advise

This is why I don't allow parents to stay at daycare for ANY amount of time. I find it confuses the child and then they think mom is always going to stay. You might have had the same outcome though if the child has never been away from mom but I usually allow 2 half days (mornings) then into daycare full-time. Parents need to drop off quickly and definitely no staying.
