Hi! My son is in daycare from 8-5 while my husband and I are at work. He started daycare at 21 months, so older than your kiddo, but it was still an adjustment for all of us. We spent the month before he went changing his daily schedule to the schedule daycare used and that helped the transition a lot. I also learned that it’s hard for my son to wait until breakfast at daycare, he wakes up hungry, so I give him fruit or a small snack when he wakes up. Dinner time is right when we get home, and I’ve had to adjust to meals that are easier and faster to cook if we all want to eat together.
My daughter started going to daycare. She was pretty attach to us so we decided to send her off to daycare a little earlier than usual and her daycare has camera for the parents to access anytime. So it easy for me I watch her and the staff she how everything is going and etc .
