Do you wake them up from nap...

[mimi]

I do for the a.m. nap just so they get some rest and can be reasonable for lunch. I wake up my crew around 3:00 for diaper change, snack and outdoor play. If we can't go outside I may let them sleep another 20 mins. Most though are awake by 3:00 and are quietly waiting to get up.

I have to wake them up some days, as I have a school run. This, however, is my last week of doing said school run, and I am ECSTATIC!!

I usually won't wake up unless it's an incredibly long nap, say, over 3 hours.

All morning nappers must be up no later than 10:30 and in the afternoon I wake them at 3:15 so we can do diapers and get snack done before hometime starts and because it is outside time for everyone. They would have had just over 2 hours of naptime by then.

No I dont wake children. As far as Im concerned, they are sleeping because their body is in need of the rest.

I agree with you but when you have NO choice you do wht you have to do....

Yes ~ this is one of the many reasons why I decided not to do 'before and after school' care cause I do not want to have to wake a sleeping child on a regular basis

Congratulations on being done with that shortly!

I let them sleep! On top of that, if they wake up early I let them stay there for at least 15 min so they learn to have quiet time.

I have 2 on the main floor that are up after 2.5 hours then another 2 upstairs that will often sleep until 3.

I never wake them up unless I need to get them ready for an early pick up.

Yes
My my little ones I wake them up from morning nap after 30-45min becuase I want them to have a better afternoon nap. It's just enough to 'hold them off'. Everyone goes down after lunch and I wake them up (if they don't on their own) at 3:00 because we have a bus pickup to do by 3:20. Otherwise I'd let them sleep until 3:30-3:45.

I do the same. I have to get my son on and off the bus, so I start waking everyone at 3:00 so we can do bum changes and potty and get our outside gear on.

Of course! Starting Sept I am doing school run Mon- Fri so Im sure there will be days I will have to wake. I am blessed with great sleepers so I will miss my long breaks!
