One of my grandsons outgrew his nap at 1 year of age. However, I agree that 99% of children need their naps and I protect their sleep as part of my job. Naptime/Quiet time is non-negotiable. I don't tell parents if children sleep longer than they want them to sleep. Just say, yes your little one had a good nap today and forget it. Your rules - your daycare and the children's bodies adjust to our daily routines.
