There will be a designated nap/rest time each day. All children must nap, rest, read or play quietly during this period. Rest time gives children a much needed break during the day. Without rest time, some children are argumentative in the afternoon, short- tempered with others, and not real happy when they go home in the evening.
Infants nap at varying times and their schedules will be accommodated. Somewhere between 12 and 18 months, children usually drop down to one nap per day. At this time, we will attempt to put them on the scheduled nap/rest period.
There will be times and ways you can get involved in your child’s daycare experience. You are welcomed and encouraged to participate in any or all of these. Some examples of ways to be involved include:
. Lending objects for units of study
. Coming and talking about your job, when asked
. Helping your child at home with the concepts we are studying here (see monthly newsletter)
. Helping your child prepare for “Show and Tell”
. Helping to provide treats or other items for our parties

• Failure to pay

. Failure of child to adjust to the cepter after a reasonable
amount of time
