My naptime generally lasts 2 hours. I have a couple of kids who tend to sleep longer that the rest and are very cranky if I wake them. If I can, I let them wake on their own. If it gets too close to pick-up time, though, I will try wake them so I can get diapers changed and maybe feed them a small snack before they go.

Thank you all for your responses. Our nap time is from 12-2, and I would just love to let them sleep an extra half hour or so.Comment

Our province makes it easy by putting regulations in place :
(5) Every operator shall ensure that the daily program in each day nursery operated by the operator and in each location where private-home day care is provided by the operator is so arranged that,
(a) each child over eighteen months of age up to and including five years of age that is in attendance for six hours or more in a day has a rest period not exceeding two hours in length following the mid-day meal;
(b) each child under thirty months of age that is in attendance for six hours or more in a day is outdoors for sleep or play or both for a period of up to two hours each day, weather permitting, unless a physician or parent of the child advises otherwise in writing;
(c) a child under 44 months of age as of August 31 of the year and who is unable to sleep during the rest period is not kept in bed for longer than one hour and is permitted to engage in quiet activities; and
(d) a child 44 months of age or over and up to and including 67 months of age as of August 31 of the year and who is unable to sleep during the rest period is permitted to engage in quiet activities. R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 262, s. 53 (5); O. Reg. 505/06, s. 11 (1).Comment
