I still do the two naps for those that need it. If it starts to interfere with the afternoon nap then that is when I shorten it or cut it out. Normally we do story and snack from 8:30-9:00 and then morning nap is 9- no later than 10:30. That is when we go down to the basement playroom and the older kids get to do our group lesson stuff. Any baby that wakes is brought down to join us. Lunch is 11:30-12:30 with diapers and naps right after. Kids are allowed to sleep till 3:00. Often those that have a morning nap are not down till 1:30 and especially if they require a bottle before bed as I do that after others are down. It gives me a chance to sit and relax too - I like cuddling the little ones - my own are 18 years old and up.

A lot depends on the hours the kids are in care. Some of my daycare kids arrive starting at 6:45 so they have been up almost an hour by that point. By 9:00 they have been up 4 hours so time to sleep.

Mostly I find parents don't get the kids into bed soon enough at night so what they are really doing is making up for night sleep with a 2 hour morning top up. And as I said, as long as they sleep in the afternoon they can sleep all morning if they want. We don't go out till after afternoon naps because of morning schedules but that doesn't bother me.
