    Yes !!! Pick the child up and place her back in the play yard and with your mean face say " no climbing out!!!" keep doing it they will give up eventually .... Even if naptime is over put her back in and then go back five mins later and take her out ... The message is you stay there till I get you out even if your awake!!!

    I transfer them to a cot if they are old enough to climb out of the pack and play ~ but yes like Crayola the crew is taught that you stay in/on your bed until you are invited out at the end of quiet time!

    Honestly this is how we were raised right up until teenage years when it was the parents dragging our ass out of bed ~ as a child when we woke up we stayed IN bed until a parent came to inform us it was time to 'get up' for school or on the weekend to 'start the day' we were not allowed to just get up and leave our room ~ until our parents were 'up' we were in bed! We were allowed to read or listen to music with headphones or whatever 'quietly' but we stayed in our rooms in bed .... this was not only for safety and respect of others sleeping in the house.
    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."

    Yes, keep placing her back. I don't even verbalize it after the first 2 times. I tell them twice, "we don't climb out, it's still quiet time" and after that it's silence. No attention at all, they're just going back. Good luck, this is always a tough one.

    I try to get mine to a cot by 2 in a room with others. Sometimes not easy, but i take advantage of days when some kids are sick and I have a lighter load to start the training.

    Thanks everyone! I have a naproom where all the children sleep and a video monitor set up in there which will help me see when/if she tries to get out.

    Thanks so much for the words of advice-this is what I was thinking as well

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.
