    Try putting her down for her morning nap earlier .... If she normally goes down from 9-10 back it up 15 minutes earlier each day till she is going down from 8-9 and see if that makes a difference ..... If not then start shortening the nap by 10 minute increments. I have a new one I just started 3 weeks ago and mom also could not get him to sleep very long in the afternoon so I suggested back it up and shortening it... I now put him down from 8-8:30 (only 30 mins) and then he goes down again in the afternoon at 12:15 for 2.5 hours. Give it a shot

    she doesnt arrive until 8:30. mom said this morning that she had a rough night and should be really tired (she has a cold) so i gave a snack at 9 because she doesnt eat much at breakfast at home so i thought a full tummy might help but she cried for an hour this morning and she doesnt seem tired at all. maybe she doesnt need th emorning nap at all. she's so great in all other areas. its not going to help that she has a cold this week so i dont know what to expect . thanks for the advice.

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.
