Yesterday Liliana had a great first day of preschool. Her teacher said she didn't nap but she quietly played with puzzles and looked at books. I got a call mid day that she was hysterical and couldn't be calmed down and to pick her up! It started when she was asked to lay down for nap. I told them I was at a new job and would have to get permission from my principal to leave and to please try to calm her down. I couldn't locate my principal right away and the director called me back saying they finally had her calm and I didn't have to get her but if she does this again she isn't welcome back! When I picked her up the director and assistant director made me feel terrible. They said they NEVER had a child have a 40 minute tantrum like that. I explained that this is her first time in a structured environment and their response was that other kids adjust just fine. I am so upset and outraged. What should I do? I loved this little school so much. I think I will try her again next week and we'll see if she throws another fit. (She goes Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays but Monday is Labor Day.) I cannot beleive they would kick her out if she acts like this again! I thought preschools were more flexible. She is only 2. Give her a break!

Married the love of my life on 1-21-12. Our princess arrived on 5-28-13.

Re: Liliana's 2nd day of preschool=disaster

  • That is absolutely terrible Tara. I am extremely sorry that happened to her. It is not her fault or yours in any way. The teacher or someone there had to say something to provoke her. I am sure she was not upset without cause. I would try and get the whole story and not just the little snippets they want to tell you. Are there camera's at the school? Some have them. They might have to let her sit quietly on her mat if she doesn't want to lay down. I am so upset and mad this happened to you sweet baby girl.

  • Ummm what? She is two! What do they expect?  I would try it again next week.  Maybe get a schedule that they are on, and try to use it this weekend and the days that she isn't there?  Can you send something that is to be used only for sleeping time?
  • That's ridiculous. They shouldn't be expecting a two year old to show up and know what to do. They can't expect to her adjust immediately.  I hope it all works out for you.

  • If they can't handle a 2 year old throwing a tantrum then I would seriously be reevaluating if she should even be there. I would also be questioning how they interact with the kids. Something triggered her to become upset and continue to be upset and they couldn't calm her down?

    I'm mad for you!

  • I agree. I know Lily would have a hard time adjusting but it makes me wonder how they handled it. And it takes time for kids to adjust and learn new routines. To expect a 2 year old to be adjusted by day 2 is extreme in my opinion.

    Hugs!!

  • Thanks everyone! I'm going to start looking into other schools. I'm just so disappointed with the way they treated her and me for that matter!

  • I'm happy to hear you are looking into other schools. I hope you can find a better one.

  • I would be one unhappy mama bear. As everyone else said before me, she's two. It's a new environment with a new schedule and kids take time to adjust. Especially when it's her first time in a place like that. I'm so sorry that happened to you. I know you really loved the school. I think you're doing the right thing in looking at other schools. I would not feeling comfortable sending my child there after this. Who knows how they handle and treat the kids.

    Good luck!
