Dcm ask me

If she can bring dcb for lunch and nap only on MLK day which she has off. What should I say to her? What would you tell your client if she asked you this???

Depends on the child and if they are a good napper. Chances are dcm will let the dck sleep in and dck will not want to nap. So unless the dck is a super napper, no.

Are you open? Do you have a policy on drop off times (I don't routinely allow drop offs after 9:00 am but will make exceptions in certain situations) Does the dcb sleep? Would he be upset because he thinks he's getting a "mom day" only to be "dumped" at day care? Are they a good client or not? All these would affect my decision.

if i was open i would allow it but only because all my kids are fabulous nappers! (except infant dcb).
if they werent good nappers, i was closed, or the family wasn't fabulous, I would say no.

I would let her know, if I chose to OK that, that the DCK must be ready for lunch and nap- and pick up will be expected if they are unable to participate. You could even say you've done it before but that the child slept in late that morning and wouldn't nap, so you can't have that situation again. Stress that they keep a regular morning schedule that day. You'd be having an easy time (hopefully), giving the DCM a "favor", and establishing a consequence if DCM decides to try to sleep in late. Could still happen, but hopefully it wouldn't!

If you are open and that is a normally scheduled day for dck then yes. If she had previously told you dck wouldn't be there and now wants him to come then I would say no.

Why? If she's off, why does she want to bring him?

I agree with the others, if he's a super napper and she plans to keep him on the morning routine, then sure. If not, or if theres even a chance he won't nap, then no way.

I would not. Previous experience has shown that the child is all off schedule and can not settle in for nap after just arriving.

Like the others said, it depends on the child, but currently I don't think any of my dcks would work well with that

Oh, and you should consider doing this ONLY if you are open. If you are closed then no way!
