I started out with a 'group sleep room' cause that is the way we did it in centre care and quickly decided it was not for me cause working from home I NEED everyone to have a nice nap so I can recharge my batteries
I have two bedrooms upstairs with the pack-n-plays for the two youngest in the program to nap in and than I have 3 cots which are strategically placed upstairs ... one in the hallway between bedrooms, one on the first landing and another on the second landing ... no one can 'see' anyone else and I play quiet soothing music to drown out any tossing and turning sounds of the 'non nappers' ... everyone rests for at least an hour and if they are still awake after than they can get up and come down into the main floor to engage in quiet activities or lay on the couch and watch some TV if they are still wanting to 'rest' ... once everyone is awake than we move onto the afternoon routine ... this works awesome for me cause I have school age kids who are in kindergarten alternating days who still sleep here because between the music and restful body state they fall asleep.
