How long is reasonable?

I'd love to hear advice from other's experienced in this. When taking a 2 year old to daycare or the first time, how long is it a good idea for Mommy to stay with the child? Is it ever better to leave, even if he's crying, so that he'll get used to it?

Actually, at this place they want you to stay the entire time if the child cries when you leave.

Every 2 year old place I've sent has a day ahead when you bring the kid for an hour while you stay for them to get familiar, and then the next day you drop at the door and leave

What is going on why is OP coming back to a 15 year old thread (and switching to amother)?

It’s not that poster who’s the OP or bumped it up first as far as I can see.
