[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In VA, the required rest time for child day centers is 60 minutes. After the first 30 minutes, children who are not sleeping can play quietly or do some other quiet activity (http://www.dss.virginia.gov/files/division/licensing/cdc/intro_page/code_regulations/regulations/standards.pdf).

Be glad it's only 50 minutes...we were at a place that had a 2-hour rest period for all kids, regardless of age and whether they actually napped. [/quote]

I cant read through all that, can someone highlight the part where it says it has to be an hour?
