    While as the soon to be mom of 5 kiddos I completely understand the parent not wanting sleep issues at night... at the same time I am the firm believer that sleep begets sleep. Meaning, for me personally IME with my own kiddos, on the days they had missed their nap or it was a shorter one that night their sleep was terrible!
    I wonder what time this child is being put to bed at night and woken in the morning?
    I need that break in the afternoon to clean and sanitize, to eat my lunch and organize my emails/bills/receipts etc., and to just recharge. Its only 1 of us working 10 hour + days we need the break.
    I tell ALL my parents that 2 hours in the afternoon is MANDATORY here. They can babble away or sing to themselves etc in their playpens but thats what white noise machines are for LOL.
    All my kiddos are toddlers though so its a little different. I wear them out so for most part I get 2-3 hours every afternoon.
    Older kiddos up to age 4? I would still keep naptime earlier. We eat lunch at 11 then its nap 12-3. If they are up after 2 I let them get up but for the most part I am waking them all at 3.
    I would say mandatory lay down for 1 hour and after 1 hour whether asleep or not let them up for a movie, quiet time and let parents know that they will be on their own while I am on break.
    If parents have a problem with this my daycare is not for them.
