Fullday Childcare Dilemma

Question

Hi mummies, I am looking for some opinions from you. I am a first-time mom. My boy is now 21 months old, he started cc since Last month. At first, of course, he cried badly, but after a week, he started to enjoy and was so happy every day we put on his uniform. He would say kul kul (school) 😀. Although he actually still cries during class sometimes, I decided to try full day since last week. He sleeps so poorly, 20 - 30 minutes. Hes usually a good napper at home, 2 - 3 hours. His teacher said that sometimes he cried badly when he woke up and disturbed other children. I know its still less than 2 weeks he move to full day, and  Ive read many moms said it takes months for their kids to adjust. But I am kind of feeling guilty and keep asking myself if my LO is not ready for a full day. Should we move back to half day? Also, the teacher said he is still not comfortable with other teachers except her and still not playing with other children in his class. My LO sticks to her everywhere she goes. I have to admit my LO is a slow to warm up kid and shy. So it makes me think,  is he not enjoying the cc? Its been 1 month, and he is still not making any friends. Should I put him to more playbased class instead of cc? #FTM #pleasehelp #firstbaby

Maybe ask yourself, What is your purpose for sending your boy to childcare? Is it for him to learn, socialize, or become independent? as for the teachers feedback - 1. Its quite normal for a child to stick with one teacher.2. Napping for 20-30 minutes is also normal. There are children who dont nap at all.3. Teachers should be able to handle children well when they cry I will recommend checking with the teacher how they will assist in the transition.
