Nap Time
Infants sleep in provider provided playpens, and the toddlers sleep on mats/cots. My goal is to have the two different age groups (18 months and older, younger than 18 months) sleeping on the same afternoon nap schedule. Nap time for children 18 months and older is during the time between 1:00pm and 3:00pm each day. Typically children 18 months and younger will take a morning nap as well, moving toward a one nap a day schedule between 12 and 18 months. Typically children 6 months and younger may need a third nap during the day. No child will ever be forced to sleep, however they are encouraged to remain quiet and on their mat during this time. For the older, toddler age children, sleeping on mats, please provide a pillow, and blanket that can be kept at the daycare for your child.
