How do you know?

I think those are just growing pains. The kids are new to the daycare...you are new to the daycare and you probably just haven't found your groove yet.

You just have to do a pep talk for yourself every morning and psych yourself up to be a great provider and have a great day.

I set a goal for myself. A lot of people tend to quit at the 18 month mark so I made a goal for myself to do it for 18 months no matter what and then if I was not happy at the 18 mo mark then I would bail.

I am now at the 3 year mark.

That first month was tough and I patted myself on the back day by day for surviving each day. It gets better. Now weeks fly by.

I am not too familiar with the specifics of your dcb situation but can you find a way for the 3 year old DCK to stay on a nap mat with some quiet activities i.e magna doodle for drawing, some Megablocks, puzzles and books and tell him he cannot come off the mat until quiet time is over? Tell him he doesn't need to sleep but he does need to stay there and be quiet and let others sleep.
