What's you nap time policy?

At my house all children lay down for nap (but my own) but I can totally understand how at around 3.5 it doesn't always work. My daughter is 3.5 and we were doing nap every 2nd day for awhile and now she is to the point of no naps. She sits upstairs and watches a movie on her DVD player. I did have a daycare boy who was 4 who wouldn't sleep and was disruptive in the nap room. We switched to nap every 2nd day. It helped. I currently have a daycare girl who doesn't fall asleep but she does lay in bed for the whole 2.5 hours. She is 4 and I have been waiting for her mom to say something about cutting out naps but she hasn't yet. I certainly am not going to. I imagine for summer I will have to before she goes to school. I wouldn't mind a child over 3 being up for naptime providing they can sit on the couch quietly for the whole 2.5 hours and watch TV. Children under 3 must nap!
