DD's quite shy and doesn't like big, noisy groups. She'll be 3 this month. She started preschool playgroup in September and recently started getting very upset every morning before going to the playgroup. She told me that sometimes there are so many kids running around that she can't find her key person, to whom she's very attached.
Usually, once she's there, she plays and seems fine and is usually happy when we collect her, but I think it is a stressful, overwhelming experience for her in general.
It is a noisy, chaotic environment without many quiet corners to retreat to and the key people have several other children to look after, so I know it would be unreasonable to expect constant one-on-one attention.
We have a meeting with the key person tomorrow morning and plan to discuss this further, but in the meantime does anyone here have suggestions or advice on how to make the process easier for DD?
