You are normal - it does feel strange to leave your child with.... strangers. There are some great places out there, but don't be afraid to make a change if it isn't working. (We're a homeschooling family, so I feel blessed to still get to spend my days with my three little people!) Jamie I agree. You are normal - it does feel strange to leave your child with…. strangers.

Give it at least 2 weeks for him to adjust. In my experience kids adjust in about 2 weeks if not then it's possible that the school isn't a good fit. It's something new for the both of you so give yourselves time to adjust and also remember that kids model their responses after the adults so if he feels your apprehension it could feed his own. My own son cried for 2 weeks when he started school but a year later he still asks to go on the weekends he loves it so much. It’s normal. Give it at least 2 weeks for him to adjust.
