Yup - if you are enrolled here during the day time over nap period you REST quietly on your bed for a period of at least an hour - after that if you are non napper than you can get up and engage in quiet time until all the others wake up ... I have kids in care who are on the 10 day rotating school schedule so they are here every other day and while they do not nap on their school days HERE they still nap - and honestly their parents comment on how they come home from 'care' happy but on their school evenings they are miserable - because they still NEED their nap

We work a 10 plus hour day - do not know about others but I NEED a proper lunch break where I can rest my mind and recharge my spirit knowing that every child in my care is 'at rest' and not needing me any part of me other than my EARS to listen for them.... I also find that when allowed to 'rest' most children even if they do not SLEEP get up from rest period recharged and in better spirits and with better behaviour for the afternoon period ... on the RARE days where I have not had rest time because of a field trip or what not those are the days where I have 'issues' in my program with children suddenly incapable of sharing, screaming matches over play and so forth because their minds are over stimulated and they lack the resilience they normally have when they have had that rest period!
