NAP/QUIET TIME
For toddler and preschool children a two hour nap/quiet time
is set aside each afternoon after lunch. For school-age children a one hour nap/quiet time is set aside each afternoon after
lunch. We encourage the children to rest and lie quietly. Any child who does not fall asleep after an appropriate length of
time during the designated nap/quiet time shall have the opportunity to engage in quiet activities.
Each toddler or preschool child shall be assigned an individual
cot for sleeping/resting. If the use of a cot is hazardous to a child, the Center will obtain parent/guardian written permission
for an alternative plan. School-age children who rest, nap, or sleep may be provided with a clean, washable pad, mat, or comfortable
furniture instead of a cot. No child is permitted to rest, nap, or sleep on the floor.
Each child should have a small blanket and pillow for nap time.
Parents are responsible for laundering blankets at least once weekly. All cots, pads, mats, or other furniture are cleaned
and disinfected before reassignment to another child.
