Your opinion on waking children before they are ready

I would definitely consider moving nap time to noon, might be hard on the older kids but hey would adjust. I don't think there is anyway 2 hour naps will cut it for her though. Even if the parents do pit her down at 7 or 8 she gets to my home at 630 am so is probably getting up at at least 6:00am

For my early arrival who little, I do power nap in morning. 8am until 9am, then we have morning snack and go out. Your child older than I would normally do it but maybe this solution?

Even if need to do 3 hour nap, it not so bad at noon until 3pm. I think it the 4pm that every parent would not be happy about. I wouldn't not do power nap and three hour mid-day nap though. If this child who need lot sleep, either power nap and 2 hours later, or max 3 in afternoon. I'd be really cross paying for child be involved in daycare to find 4 hour of day child asleep. And I do think it would affect bed time.

Let me be clear on average she sleeps between 1 and 3 to 330 but sometimes does sleep till 4 which is only a 3 hour nap. That's 2 and a half hours she sleeps even though she arrives at 630 am. All my children nap for at least 2 hours some days more some days less because they are people and sometimes need more sleep. The way my arrivals and schedule work I would not put her down for a nap in the morning. I will definitely move nap time till noon and see if that helps at home however the parents have seen a sleep consultant who told them it's a behavior issue so I doubt what I do here will make any difference at home. They tell me she gets up 10 times a night and walks into there room and they go rock her, cuddle her and put her back to bed everytime.
