What is a normal daycare transition for 12 month old?

r/

I need some help understanding what is normal for a 12 month old transitioning to daycare. We are only on day 2 and when my child gets home, she is not her happy self. She whines and cries until bedtime. Bedtime is at 7 and both nights she has cried hysterically until about 845. Daycare naps are 30 minutes at 1130 and then 1 hour at 330. We don’t have any control over that. We didn’t realize this was the case when we had originally agreed to go there.

We want to change daycare providers so we can have a nap around 12/1230, but I just want to make sure that I’m not overreacting by pulling her out after 2 days. Is that nap schedule actually ok? (I’m not ok with it.) What should I be expecting of transitioning from being home with Grandma to an inhome daycare or daycare center?
