    Totally with you. I find that the kids are harder on Mondays. Its because they all go home friday and do their own thing on the weekend and then come to a house full of structure. They fight it every week

    Mine take most of Monday to get back in routine. They aren't so much a problem as much as I have learned just to have a looser structure on Monday in terms of what I plan for them so I can pick and choose from activities according to moods and tiredness. Naptime is usually longer as they make up for a busy weekend. I find by Friday they are often the same and either need to be left alone to play or totally told what to do with me led stuff. I now plan my lessons to be T, W, Th and we play M and F by ear.

    Haha, this is me too, refreshed on Monday usually and really tired at the end of the week. As for the children in my daycare, I think they thrive on our routine days and are pretty consistent every day. I don't notice any changes from Mon-Fri at all. I just keep them really busy and active every morning and they are really tired every afternoon and sleep pretty well. I know I'm lucky and may run into problems one of these days.

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
