If I were to place Adam in a CC, I'll do what you do - get him used to baby classes first. Through pics, it seems Javen is getting quite used to that and is doing well
Plus, he can speak already, perhaps that helps too.

Don't be disheartened ok? Gotta perservere. If u really can't tahan, another alternative is to take him out for now, enrol him in baby classes first, when u think he's ready, place him in a playgroup first. Then if playgroup also OK, place him in full day CC. That could ease the transition.

true, kids at this stage have different levels of confidence. even though I see Adam pretty confident when he mixes with his cousins - aged about 3 to 5, I'm not really sure still of how he'll be when he meets with a class full of toddlers. In fact I wonder if he'll be bossy & possible bully others coz when he met up with my friends' kids aged about 2 yrs old, he was the one conquering play.
I'll wait for him to turn abt 2 yrs old before placing him in CC. Mebbe before that try some toddler classes first.
But frankly I think the busybods class you gals are bringing yr boys too sound very chim! Not sure if Adam would be able to follow through.
