To Nap Or Not To Nap This Is The Question?

Whether he falls asleep or not, he would still be required to rest quietly on a cot/mat here at naptime. Not sure of the ages of the other children in your care, but consider how letting one child stay up will affect the entire group. Give him a few books and puzzles and place his nap mat away from the other kids so they won't see him. He can play quietly on his mat and read. If he falls asleep, then he needs the nap. If he stays awake then give him more books.

Your house your rules so YOU decide whether you want him to nap or not. If you ask for the parents input, you might be stuck doing the opposite of what you really want to do.

The parents have not mentioned a word about it. I have been thinking about this situation, because I am prepping the child. To start school in the fall.
California has made many changes to the kindergarten rules and no naps are offered here, as well as kinder is full day.
This child will be in my care up until the day he starts school.
I want to set him up for success, regardless of what the parents ask me I want what's best for the child.

My sister used to teach kinder and I recall her complaining about the kids having a really hard time staying awake the first few months of school.
So I thought I would ask what others do with their kinder ready program regarding sleep
