"Whatever it is you hope to achieve, your success will depend on how fully you are able to help each child and family develop a sense of belonging in your program," shares Donna King in her article in the newest Exchange Essentials: Powerful Partnerships with Families.
"Take a hard look at structures in your program that rush or abbreviate relationships. The more time a group of children, teachers, and families are together, the better. Show patience, communicate consistently, radiate a steady confidence that everyone will surely make their way to the inside. This lays the path to belonging.
"When you belong, you know people will listen when you speak, and they trust you to listen too. You feel surrounded by what we call 'the caring conspiracy.'"

It's not a conspiracy---it's as the name implies--child care. The work is to care about the child and you do that by building relationships with the child and family. A true daycare is a child's home away from home, so the child needs to feel safe, comfortable and trust must be established if the child is to flourish in that setting.
