Daughter is very attached to daycare teacher - suggestions?
My wife and I are first time parents to a 14 month old (12 months adjusted) amazing sweet girl. Shes been going to the same daycare for the last 7 or 8 months.
Theres one teacher in particular that she’s grown a very strong bond with and it turns out that bond may be turning into a problem.
We love this teacher and she seems to genuinely care about our daughter. For the last couple weeks we’ve been hearing stories I thought were cute - she won’t leave my side, she cries when I leave the room, and other things that show that is her person.
Turns out, these cute to us stories may not be so cute to the people at daycare. Today my wife was told that she may be going into the other infant room because this teacher can’t get anything done due to our child.
My wife was VERY upset in hearing this. I was more understandable and she will hopefully soon be moving into the next room in a few months anyway so I wasn’t as ticked off on the idea.
I’m afraid that she’s going to hate daycare if they force her away from her person and I don’t want the other teachers to view her as a problem or burden.
She is going through an attachment phase. Daddy was able to stay home with her for 12 weeks when mom went back to work and I also work from home so I have been the one getting her ready every morning so sometimes she prefers me to mom and sounds like she has her person at school too.
Any thoughts, suggestions are welcome.
Edit: they want to move my daughter to the smaller infant room where she’d be the oldest kid and basically only one who can even crawl. She also doesn’t nap in there well with all of the crying (30 min nap v 90 min in other room) - we want to object to the change. Also going to talk to the teacher she’s connected to tomorrow as we heard the possible change from someone else.
