[quote=Anonymous]We are generally happy with DD's daycare center. She'll be 3 in July so she's in an older twos room, has friends, does well, decent amount of singing/dancing/art and they feed them which is awesome.

But we have access to the security cam footage for some of the day (video only, no audio), and I can't stop myself from checking in. I now know her current teachers put them on their cots at 12:30 and don't let up until 3. Is that normal? I could make my peace with 1-3 when that's what I thought it was, but this extra half hour... makes me kind of sad.

I guess some kids need a nap that long. Definitely not my kid. Most days she doesn't take a real nap. What happens I think is she's either just too inactive for too long, or she sleeps for something like 5-20 minutes and it wreaks havoc on her nighttime sleep. On weekends we power through the day, put her down a little early and nighttime is wonderful. I realize our options are limited as we are full-time working parents and can't dictate everything (or basically anything) that happens at daycare. But it seems like a long time for kids to be down.[/quote]
