Teddy Bear Child Care

How hard is it for parents to say Good Bye to their child on the first day of starting a child care? Second day? Third day? Sometimes first 2 or 3 weeks? Seeing your child crying and asking to be taken back to a familiar place - your home? Do you feel guilty leaving your precious baby with someone he/she doesn’t even know? Most parents would say Yes!
