First , is this even legal?
Does anyone , anywhere make there children nap for that long?
Sometimes , I know they nap there for over 2 hours.
My wife doesn't seem to believe me, but I stop in unannounced , and am frequently dissapointed.
I think a 45 min to 1 hour nap is more than standard?
Please help me 
Thank you in advance
What do you mean by forcing? Are they holding your children down until they fall asleep?
All of my daycare kids, and my own children, nap for about 2 or more hours (and my own kids sleep about 11 hours at night as well). Kids play hard at daycare, and need rest for their bodies and minds to grow. A 2 hour nap, or even more, isn't abnormal at all, in fact, it is the standard. If your children are falling asleep, that means that their body needs it. If they weren't tired, they wouldn't be falling asleep. My kids would be super crabs if they only napped 45 minutes to an hour. Naps make happier, healthier kids.
I do not, however, have my kids over 5 nap. Is your 6 year old sleeping for the entire 2 hours? Maybe they could read a book, or do another quiet activity? My 5 year old daughter does not nap, but she sleeps 12 hours at night.
