Quiet/nap time

[Crayola kiddies]

I had a former family that tried to tell me how to run my days and what they wanted their child to do or not to do and when they told me they wanted me to change my illness policy to read a certain way I told them when they opened their own daycare they found word their policy like that but mine was staying the way it was. Every child in my daycare has quiet time regardless of age. I would put this child on a cot or nap mat and tell her she is required to stay there till I come back. If she chooses not to sleep that is her perogitave but she must stay there and stay quiet. Every child needs to rest even if they don't sleep and you need a break ....I also have zero tv time in my day home so that would not be an option for any child. I would tell the parent you go outside when it is above -10 as you have some non walkers who get too cold from just sitting there. But that is your discretion not hers. I am assuming you have a routine you follow and if the parent doesn't like that routine then I am sure she will be able to fine another day home that would suit her needs better. .... NEXT....
