On the news they did a feature story about kids napping at a nursery school. The teachers all said the same thing, the kids are better behaved, more attentive and learn better if they have napped. I find the best part of my daycare day is after nap. The kids are in great moods and play much better co-operatively......... and yes, I need a break too so I will be in a better mood for the evening portion of my day!!!
