My son was the same way when he first went to his daycare. The first daycare he loved. The second took some time to get used to. What I did was I let my boss know I would be late or even may not show up. My job is very easy going when it comes to family, anyhow i went in showed him around introduced him to teacher and kids. I helped him to interact with the other kids. I showed him toys and what the other children were doing. I do have to say if the teachers didn't help then you need to take him to another daycare because they are supposed to be ready and help with things like that. Kids that young, need help when they have never gone to a daycare before. They have to shoe the kids they are there for them and talk with them. I interviewed quite a few daycares and made sure that they talked to my son as we were looking at the school. If they had no interaction at first then it was an interview that they failed on. Take your kid and look around, there will be on that will stick out to him and he won't just come out and be happy at first but it will be easier for him to stay. My son still cried a few days after the first day, but he eventually got over it. He has always been a blanket baby so he took his blankie and every morning they let him lay down with his blankie until all the other kids were there and he was more comfortable by that time. Now he walks in like he owns the place. Just talking and carrying on like he is something. It is just too cute. Just something for you to think about.
