What's you nap time policy?

[5 Little Monkeys]

I had a parent ask that her 3.5 year old no longer nap because it was disrupting her bedtime. I said sure that's fine. She comes upstairs with me and watches tv, does puzzles, reads books, works on worksheets with me and sometimes falls asleep. I just let her mom know if she had a nap and she pushes bedtime back about 30 minutes.

However, I am sending out a revised contract for the new year and in it, I have asked that all children lay down for 30 minutes so that I have a break and can eat lunch in peace. I wrote that in there because I feel that some parents truly don't get that we don't get a break lol. If she is still awake after that, she can get up and come upstairs with me like we do now.

It is our home and we can make the rules but I am also aware that they are not mine and if their parents request something I will do my best to work with them to find a solution that works for both of us. A 30 minute break plus an 1.5 hours of quiet time with one child is fine by me and it will hopefully be okay with her parents as well.
