Everyone needs some downtime in their day. It is required by law in Ontario daycare centres and in full day JK they still have a quiet time and some sleep in the afternoons.

If your child is falling asleep that fast how do you expect your child to cope for the rest of the afternoon? At the same time I do disagree with the notion of not waking the child. Maybe they do need it but it should wait till bedtime. There should be a cut off time for napping or it becomes a vicious circle of not sleeping at night because they are not tired and then being overtired the next day and not able to cope to play.
