Navigating Work-from-Home Expectations Before Starting New Job

I recently accepted a full-time role after a successful interview, where I was clear about my need for flexible work arrangements due to my child's additional needs. The hiring manager assured me that I could have one work-from-home day a week, which was crucial for my family's schedule. However, as I approached my start date, I reached out to the team lead for logistical questions and discovered that new hires typically don't get work-from-home days until after an 8-week training period. This information was never disclosed during the interview process, and I feel misled. I would not have accepted the offer had I known this, as it doesn't align with my family's needs. Now, I'm anxious because my previous job has been filled, and I need clarity on whether they can accommodate my requirements before I start. I'm debating whether to push for a definitive answer via email this week or wait until our in-person discussion on Monday. I’ve already identified the specific dates I would need to work from home to meet both my training and family obligations.
