Hello everyone, this is my first post!
I have parents who would like their little one to be put down for 2 naps during the day. I know that some little ones at age one when they first start may need some time to adjust to my schedule to one nap. I agreed to start off their little one on 2 naps but that their little one would need to adjust to our daycare schedule to one nap.
I tried it for one week and with the set up of my home ~ our daycare is in it's own room of my home and I had this little one in one of my bedrooms for nap time so the other kids didn't wake. Music and busy didn't allow this little one to sleep as we have a bungalow and the bedroom is on the same floor. Our home is not that big.
I tried then to move lunch and nap time up to make it easier for this little one to adjust but then the parents starting after a few weeks putting this little one for a nap down as soon as they got home. Now they are looking at me to find a way to make nap time better and longer so their little one is more rested during day time nap.
Any suggestions, the only one that I could think of is to cut out nap at night when they walk in the door and give this little one time to adjust to one nap ....some kids adjust better than others but I am so open to suggestions. We go out for walks and this little one is so busy checking things out and doesn't even fall a sleep unless put in fold and play away from noise to nap.
