I did that a few times before changing my stance on that. They never show up when they say they will! It only took a few nap times of children sitting and waiting....and waiting. Now I tell them, “Text me when you’re leaving to head my way.” Then I get the child up and ready. If they don’t want them to lay down, they need to be here before nap.
