What to do when your baby cries at daycare drop-off in BC 2026 — crying at drop-off is developmentally normal and expected in the first weeks of daycare (even after settling-in). The best approach: a confident, warm, and brief goodbye (30 seconds maximum), trust your primary educator, and know that most babies calm within minutes of the parent leaving. Smiling Kids’ educators are trained in responsive settling.
