[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here -- my DH is military so his schedule = long, inflexible hours.  Hence, I won't be able to stagger.  I thought about putting her in a center closer to work but I work in the District and we all know that rigamarole.  Plus, there is a wonderful preschool / center where we live.  But, yes, it will mean dropping off at 7 and picking up at 5 due to my commute.  I'm a little worried, especially about keeping her nap.  Any other words from those who have BTDT or are currently doing it?  It does sound like staggering is the way to go but I don't think that will work for us. [/quote]

Staggering doesn't work for us either, so my kids were always in daycare from like 7:30 or 8 until between 5 and 6.  There weren't any other options for us and it sounds the me for you. So you just make it work.

As far as naps, I think you are worrying way too much.  I have never known a parent whose kid was in the 2s or 3s room, or even the 4s have a nap issue.  Not saying it never happens, but it's rare.  At that age, all the kids sleep at the same time so the room is dark and quiet.  It's just part of their daily routine.  In fact, my youngest hasn't napped at home in over a year, but has a two hour nap everyday in school and she's 4.[/quote]
