Personally, I allow no napping, BUT ONLY if the child CLEARLY does not NEED one and ONLY at MY discretion. The parents have no input into my daily schedule with the children. If they want that, then they will need to find another caregiver.
thats how I run it here too, Its up to my discretion whether or not a child needs a nap. I'm not going to keep a child up because the parents want them to go to bed early, what about me, when would I get a break, eat my lunch (in peace)
