When is Nap Time??

[gracepatiencelove]

1-3pm

6weeks to 6 years.

I started out saying 2-4 but that was way too late in the day for my 12mos-20mos kids. However, I ahve a feeling I'm having so many issues because people roll outta bed and drop off their kids (no, I KNOW that, since moms have said to me "okay, I'm going to go get a shower and get ready now!"). So... I guess my final answer is, I am still working it out.

Between 12:30/1:00 until they wake up-usually between 2:30/3:30.

I have 4 kids 2 and under and one child that is 3.

We start quiet time at 12.30. All children 15 mos to 4 years sitting on their cots reading books. The younger ones usually start falling asleep straight away.
Nap time music put on and books away at 1pm to start nap time 'proper'. They wake up at different times but nap time is usually over around 3/3.15.

I have a 13 mos old too but he sleeps on his own schedule in a separate room.

My group is now between 10 months and 20 months. I am trying to push nap back to 1:00, but I'm doing it slowly. Yesterday we were busy in the morning, ate lunch at 12:30 and they went to sleep at 1 and I didn't let them up until 3. It was great. At 3 I change diapers, give a snack, and they start leaving around 3:45 (I close at 4:30). The 10 month old takes a quick nap in the morning. I lay him down at 9 and get him up at 10. He usually sleeps about 45 minutes and that way he can nap with us in the afternoon.

1-3. We lay down and read at 12:30, some kids are out asap and others take a bit longer. EVERYONE is always up before/by 3 though.

I have 1 2yo, 4 3yos, 1 4.5yo (who is the best sleeper)
