    1 to 3 pm is my Quite Time. Those who nap, that is perfect. Those who don't, stay quite until the 2:45 pm wake up light is on.

    luckily for me, 99% they ALL nap, including me. for my daughter almost 4, she would say no, but if she see me laying on the bed, she does lay beside me and fall to sleep.

    and we all wake up happy and ready to tackle the afternoon fun!
    If they whine, give them cheese. If they're not hugable, hug yourself. (me)

    You nap while you have kids there?!?

    I don't mean to sound rude but seriously you fall asleep WHILE the other kids are sleeping/resting, napping?

    I can't even begin to think of all the things that could happen if the provider was napping while "on the clock"!

    Is this the norm for providers in your area?

    As a parent, if I knew my provider was napping at the same time the kids were napping, I would find a new provider.

    Sorry, if that comes across as sounding rude, I don't mean it to be but I am just having a hard time digesting that it would ever be considered ok.
