Problems with Daycare

Talk to the teacher to try and help your daughter. She will have to work it out to some extent though on her own, but you and the teacher can help. Reading your post I was reminded on when I switch elementary schools. I was much older than your daughter but had simialr troubles, so much so that my mom checked in to moving me back to my old school. I had seemed outgoing at my old school but just because I knew everyone. I'm actually very shy and had trouble opening up at the new one, even though I knew a couple of girls there already from other activities. It took me nearly a year to adjust and be happy at my new school. It didn't help that my teacher was a very unhelpful person either because she didn't care or she didn't know what to do, I don't know which. She retired the next year so obviously it wasn't from lack of experience. Just try talking to the teacher and wait it out. If you're comfortable that she is not being mistreated by the adults in any way. If you're not comfortable with the situation, move her.

Definitely talk to the teacher. If their response doesn't seem promising, don't hesitate to talk to the director. I've learned not to let things go when it comes to daycares. Unfortunately there are many younger adults employed these days, who don't have proper experience or training to deal with these problems. If you continue to feel uncomfortable about leaving her, find someplace that will deal with such issues. I hate to suggest bouncing from center to center, but it's far more important to find someplace that will make you and your child feel welcome. I've been unfortunate enough to run into the same issues, but also fortunate enough to eventually find a place my child didn't want to come home from at the end of the day! And she was clean and safe to boot!

Talk to the teacher, they need to know that this is definitely a problem. Your daughter may have been or is currently expressing the problem to the teachers, but it may not be clear to them how much of a problem it truly is.

Talk to the teacher today if possible. Bad behavior cannot be left unchecked.

I'm sorry to hear that. I know how heartbreaking it can be. Earlier this year, my son had the same problem. There were some boys being rough with him (he's 2). I asked the teacher about it and she said, "boys will be boys, its no big deal". Hummm...its a big deal to me if my kid is crying every morning when its time to go to school.
I switched daycares and he's been running to get inside each morning since. Four is too young to deal with garbage like that. If you talk to the teacher (even the sub), and you don't get signs of improvement, I'd move her. Sorry, that might sound drastic, but in my opinion she's a bit too young to sort it out herself. She'll have plenty of years in elementary school to do that. Good luck!
