How Late Do You Let Children Sleep?

[coolconfidentme]

I had a surprise inspection during nap time. When it was time to get the kiddos up, she told me to tell them once & let them wake up on their own. She explained if they can sleep though other kids playing, they aren't getting enough sleep at home so let them be. She also said to tell the parent "my state consultant said not to wake them."

I normally start turning lights on and opening curtains around 3:30 if I still have sleepers. We can't get outside in the afternoon if they sleep longer than that. My naptime is 12:30-3pm. If a parent arrives and their child is still sleep because of a late start to nap I just mention that to them.

I let them sleep as long as they like.
I have a DCB that will sometimes sleep until 4pm or 4h30.
I don't wake them up unless we have a really special afternoon activity planned. I hate for them to miss out.
I assume if they are sleeping a long time it is because they are very tired, growing or coming down with something.

Yesterday we layed down for nap layed down for nap late (1:30)and my kids didnt fall asleep until close to 2 and when parents were coming wt pick up at 4 and 4:30 I explained it was a late lay down day.

I usually dont wake anyone up ever and my parents know this but I fid wake up a kid yesterday because it was getting close to 5. I had already turned on the lights other kods were playing and he was just sleeping away.

I let them sleep until they wake up. Our nap time is 12:30/1 until 2:30/3:30. The kids are usually up by 3:30, rarely do they sleep any longer.

Our nap is usually 1215ish until 230. If they aren't up by 315, I usually wake them so we can get snack and hopefully get some outside time in.

I usually let them sleep till they wake up on their own. Only exceptions are nice days (especially in winter), one parent arrives right after school lets out so I do sometimes wake dcb up. The baby I wake up after 3 hours.
