Most preschool children require a rest during the day. Children under the age of five may be required to take a nap after lunch, but this should not exceed 2 hours. Older children will have quiet time during naptime, when they will be allowed to read, watch a movie or do similar quiet activities. You may want to consider providing your child's care provider with a portable crib to ensure it's safety. However, most child care centers have their own and only require you provide bedding (pillow, sheet, blanket) for your child. If this is the case inquire how it is stored during non-sleeping time. Is it hygienic? Other children should not share your child's bedding.
