I don't know if this will help at all, and if it doesn't just totally disregard it. I went to preschool and was very very happy there. I didn't wait around for my mom, I just went off and played with my friends. During the summer, my mom thought I might like to have some kids to play with just like at preschool. So she put me in daycare just a couple mornings a week. I don't know how long I went for, but I cried the entire time. I don't know why I hated it, and I knew my mom would be back, but I did. I was a kid who mimicked my mom anxiety about things. Maybe that had something to do with it? But kids have their own personalities. They do understand how their parents are feeling about situations regarding them. Maybe you could try telling him that you'll stay for 5 minutes. Have a timer and when the five minutes goes off you leave? My mom had a daycare and we found that worked. Or you could try making a social story. You know with pictures of him doing everything. Like in the mornings before school we have breakfast (with a picture of him at the table), (new page) we brush our teeth (pic), then we get ready to go. We.... then when you get to the school pictures of him doing what he's suppose to do, and a picture of you returning, with the words something like, mommy returns and finds a happy _____ playing with his friends. Mommy loves _____ very much. Try reading it to him before you go, and when you get to school. I hope it helps. GOod luck
