    Simply state that your policy is that all kids must nap from 12:30-2:30, and that you use this time to clean, meal prep, activity prep and rest a bit so unfortunately it is something that you cannot accommodate.

    I would never let a child that age get up early, a 2 hour rest time is not unreasonable.

    I am having similar issues with a family right now. DCG is 3 and I've let her drop down to just a one hour nap because she was growing out of it and having trouble falling asleep at night. I let her have a backpack at naptime that has books and toys from home to help keep her awake, but almost everyday she falls asleep anyways. Parents keep bringing up that she has difficulty falling asleep at night and in the morning at drop off dad will say "what did we talk about Sally? No napping right? Don't fall asleep today!" IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!! I feel like they are being pretty passive aggressive because really, this is a convo that they could have at home, why bring it up in front of me?....because they want me to drop the nap altogether, they just won't come out and say it.

    I am going to need a straight jacket if I have to hear about it one more time!
