Good Morning Aicha,

We hope this email finds you well.

Can you please confirm if Yusuf will come tomorrow (as we can make the
adjustment to his schedule effective immediately).

Let us know.

Best regards,

Ms. Mehwaish

<br>
Hope this email finds you well!<br>
So I had a conversation with Mehwaish in regards to your concerns with <br>
Yusuf and his adjustment here at daycare. I think given the nature of <br>
his temperament and the frequency of his days it&#39;s understandable that =
<br>
it would take him a bit longer to feel fully comfortable here. I do <br>
think that this is a good fit for him considering the size of the center <b=
r>
as well as the group size of the class. After reflecting on your <br>
previous email a bit, I feel that perhaps we extended his day a little <br>
too soon. I know Mehwaish mentioned a morning program that right now is <br=
>
a pilot project for families who are interested. However we do oblige <br>
them to do 5 mornings per week. I can attach the visitors package we <br>
have that includes the fee structure for the morning program. I think <br>
what would be best for you and Yusuf right now is to keep your 2 days at <b=
r>
60$/day but to keep his days short, i.e. pick him up after lunch at <br>
12:30. Let&#39;s do that for a good month or so and see how well he gets <b=
r>
used to it. Drop offs might be easier since he knows it&#39;s a shorter tim=
e <br>
and he doesn&#39;t have to worry right now about staying on his bed. Again,=
 <br>
because he only comes twice a week, his integration will be slower than <br=

a child who comes more often. Children thrive with a predictable routine <b=
r>
which is why we were going with 2 consecutive days (Monday-Tuesday). <br>
Mehwaish mentioned you wanted to change to Tuesday-Thursday, which is <br>
not ideal but if that&#39;s what you need, we will of course support Yusuf =
<br>
through his integration. Once he truly feels comfortable here, we can <br>
talk about making his days longer.<br>
<br>
As a whole, we have to be patient with him as he navigates this new <br>
aspect of his life. Knowing his temperament now, it&#39;s clear that he&#39=
;s <br>
someone who needs more time to find his bearings and feel comfortable in <b=
r>
a new space on his own. It&#39;s a tough time at his age. He&#39;s still <b=
r>
learning about himself as a person and that includes who he is as a <br>
separate entity from you as his mom (the main caregiver) and trying to <br>
make sense of the world in that way. On top of that, he&#39;s navigating <b=
r>
emotions, and independence, and mastering cognitive and physical skills. <b=
r>
It&#39;s a lot for a kid! But part of our role is to help build their <br>
resilience through love and connection. We help them believe that they <br>
can do hard things! I know Mehwaish mentioned to you that I do some <br>
parent coaching on the side. If you want to book me for a 30mins <br>
discovery call, you can email me at <a href=3D"mailto:marnie.gracefullfamil=
y@gmail.com" target=3D"_blank">marnie.gracefullfamily@gmail.com</a> and <br=

we can go from there.<br>
<br>
Hope this reassures you a little bit and helps you to make a good <br>
decision for your family. Regardless of what you decide, we are here for <b=
r>
you!<br>
<br>
With warm regards,<br>
