    I've never done it but it sounds like a cool idea! Sorta like a playpen but for the bigger kids it will be easier for them to get out if they need the washroom.

    I use tents for play often so I think my dck's would view it as playtime but I'm sure they would learn quickly that it was naptime and no play allowed.

    I sorta really like this idea! Let us know how it goes if you try it. I might have to give it a go too! I only have one who sleeps on a mat and she doesn't nap every day so it could possibly work for her. I have a 2 year old girl who is potty trained and sleeps with no diaper on for nap but I have her in a playpen still because I don't trust her to stay on a mat yet lol.

    I bet your DCKs will love this! Great idea
    Children are great imitators.
    So give them something great to imitate.

    I would bet that they sleep better and once the novelty wears off it will work as well since they won't be able to see each other. Also it could muffle the noise level of any non-sleepers.

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
