[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 4 year old doesn’t nap on the weekends. Our daycare has told us that children can play quietly on their cots if they don’t want to nap. I think he is being encouraged to nap. I understand that the teachers need this break time. Bedtime is taking two hours most nights when he naps at daycare. Is there any other options than just play with a toy? It might be good to have some other suggestions to give the teacher or director for kids who don’t need to nap. Does your center have a different approach?[/quote]

Nope this is it. My son needs to be quiet for 30 minutes for everyone else to fall asleep and then he is given a bag that I send from home with fresh toys such as books, puzzles, alpha-bots, matching cards, etc. They say they give them books but a book isnt enough to sit for 1.5 hours. When my son naps he cannot fall asleep until 10/1030 and thats after my bedtime!

It is a very difficult phase. Try to talk with the lead teacher or director and ask if you can either send a bag of nap supplies (QUIET toys) or if he can be allowed to color/puzzles/etc on a table away from other kids sleeping. [/quote]

NP, but thanks for this feedback!  My 2yo is in a weird phase where she probably should nap (she's a little overtired when she doesn't, which is every weekend) but she also WON'T go to bed before 9 is she does nap and I'm getting exhausted.  I'm not going to push it now but when she moves up to the 3s room, I want her to stop napping at daycare as well because the slightly fussy/tired at dinner and early bedtime is actually MUCH easier for me to manage than the late bedtime.[/quote]
