Riana joined the Sterling Nursery School this week and the change has been difficult for her to absorb. We had to change her daycare four months back and the transition was an easy one. Riana immediately bonded with all of the teachers and made many friends at the new place. It was a small facility and she felt very welcomed and comfortable. Unfortunately, the owner decided to shutdown the operations of the Sterling facility and we were once again faced with re-situating Riana at a different school.
Riana is extremely social and transitions like these have never been a problem. This time however, she is battling with the large school setting. Every morning she cries when I drop her off. She tells me that she doesn’t want to attend the school. She wants me to stay there with her. Albeit unwilling to attend school in the mornings, she does seem to enjoy herself a lot during the course of the day. She especially likes the big playground that enables her to explore several activities.
I am glad that the school has been around for 42 years and is unlikely to shutdown in the near future. I really like this school as most of the teachers have either bachelor’s or master’s degree in teaching. Riana is in the younger preschool classroom and can continue at this school until Kindergarten. It is not fun when a two year old is constantly subjected to major changes like this. I hope this phase will pass as Riana develops new friendships and gets comfortable with the new environment.
Good luck my baby! (Hugs & Kisses)
