When My Mommy and Daddy Leave Me at Daycare: (A "TOT" Book - Teaching Our Toddlers) by C. C. Couchois When My Mommy and Daddy Leave Me at Daycare is a guide to children and parents alike. In today's work-oriented society, most families employ childcare services at one point or another. Inevitably, this brings some form of anxiety to both children and their parents. Unlike adults, children may not understand the concept of childcare centers. When My Mommy and Daddy Leave Me at Daycare is crafted to explain and comfort the confused and anxious child. Complemented by delightfully colorful illustrations, When My Mommy and Daddy Leave Me at Daycare is a must-read for any parent or caregiver. About the Author A native of New Jersey, C. C. Couchois now resides in Santa Monica, California. She is a licensed and experienced childcare provider. As the owner and operator of an infant and toddler care center for eleven years and counting, she has often witnessed the separation anxieties felt by her clients and their children. Having been raised in an environment that mandated children be seen, not heard, herself, she has vowed to adjust the lack of understanding that fosters this cold concept. In her child care centers, C. C. Couchois has instituted a "No Need to Cry" policy, meaning a crying child is immediately tended to. She hopes When My Mommy and Daddy Leave Me at Daycare will help children, caregivers, and parents to reach an improved point of understanding and compassion.
