Many parents wonder how naptime works at daycare. At Pilke kindergartens, all children are given the opportunity to rest or nap in a quiet room designed for peaceful daytime rest.
Children’s brains develop most rapidly during early childhood, and this intense development requires sufficient rest and sleep. That’s why it’s important for children to have the chance to nap at daycare. If a child falls asleep during rest time, it means they need sleep—and we make sure they get it. It’s good to remember that every child’s need for sleep is individual.
It’s also completely normal for some children not to sleep at daycare. In that case, they simply relax for a while by listening to a story or music before returning to the day’s activities.
