    You need to enforce a mandatory lay down with no stimulation time...30 minutes is a good round time. Most kids if they're gonna fall asleep will do so within this time. I have dark rooms with relaxing spa type music playing to help their bodies relax. If after 30 minutes anyone is still awake, I will allow them to get up and watch a movie quietly. They are not allowed to get off the couch, they must stay sitting and watch it or they have to go back to bed...most kids that age will understand that consequence and will willingly sit and watch a movie. This will allow you to still have your break.

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.
Updates
We expect providers to keep their listing and available openings up-to-date. However, to prevent oversights, openings expire after 45 days.
