My 1.5 year old was suffering from separation anxiety when she started at CLA, but the staff and teachers would take turns holding her and comforting her while I had to be at work. No matter how long she cried, they would never let her feel alone.
My child has tuff mornings during drop off still but when I come back to get her in the afternoon, she runs to me with a huge smile. That's because the teachers make her feel safe and that's important to me.
