Quiet/nap time

[cfred]

I lay it out right at the intake interview....there will ALWAYS be a nap/quiet time. Even for 8 yr olds I've had in the past, there's quiet time. For the older kids, it was a movie. If kids fall asleep during the quiet time, then obviously they need the sleep. Typically, parents only want providers to eliminate/reduce naps because they're having trouble putting them down at night. IMO, that's not my issue and they will need to alter their strategies at home. I'm not adjusting an entire daycare's schedule to suit one family.

And let's face it, we work long, hard hours and have to be on our game all the time. We all need a break too
