I'm going through this right now with my own 3 year old...it's traumatic! I currently don't have a choice with my situation, because I'm in transition to a full-time Montessori school in the fall, and just needed day care two days a week until then. But those two days are hard--crying when I leave, asking when I'll come back, etc. But I asked the day care providers how my son is after I leave, and they say he is fine! When I pick him up, he's totally fine and doesn't want to leave. So I would give it a bit more time if I were you, you don't want to bounce around and end up being sorry you didn't hang in there. At the same time, I would make sure this day care is high quality, no problems that could be causing your daughter to be upset, such as lack of routine, inconsistent naps, sugary snacks, too much TV, etc. Also you could try to institute something from the old day care, like certain books they read or toys they played with. I'm sure the new day care would be willing to help in that regard. Good luck--it's tough, but my experience so far is that it's probably not as bad as it seems, and that we do tend to worry more when we leave them at new places.
