Letting Go: The First Day of Daycare and a Parent’s Heart

How do you drop a little baby off at daycare? I remember the first time I handed my tiny daughter to her caregiver, her little fingers gripping my shirt, her eyes wide with curiosity and a hint of worry. My heart felt heavy, torn between excitement for her new experiences and the ache of separation. I lingered at the door, watching her settle in, whispering silent reassurances to us both. It’s a leap of faith—trusting others with your most precious gift and trusting yourself that you’re making the right choice. Every parent’s journey is unique, but the emotions are universal.
