The best thing you can do to be a team with your childcare provider is to work on a routine for your child together. Some may just put them on a routine, others may work a little more individually. Kids do SOOOOO much better when there is consistency in their days and that makes everything, including naps, easier. You are not going to find the same exact thing done at every daycare but in general, you have to remember that your child is part of a group. Your provider can only provide reasonable things. Prolonged crying, rocking, constantly checking and offering paci, up and down all day are going to wear out any provider.
