Transitioning

As you start care at your new dayhome there will be a challenging period that dayhome providers often call “transition”. This phase is completely normal for children as they adjust to a new care provider and the environment – but there are some things you can do to help make it easier for everyone involved.

Transitioning to a new dayhome is no walk in the park. This is a huge change for your little one and your family and it can feel very challenging in the first few weeks. There might even be a period of time when you feel you made a bad choice and that your little one just doesn’t seem to be adjusting. 

But how can you tell the difference between a normal transition period and a wrong fit? Read on in this section to learn all about transition and what you can expect – plus we’ll talk about what to look for to determine if the dayhome you’ve chosen may not be the right fit for your family.
