Whether it’s your little ones very first time at daycare or just a transition to a new one, this can feel like a very overwhelming time. As parents we often spend months or even years ensuring our children have a well established schedule, sleep environment and routines and thinking about how your child will do in a new sleep space is a common concern for many parents.
