Well, IMO, a 2.5 yr old NEEDS to nap. It's too long a day for a child that age to be up all day long. AND, it means YOU get no break all day either. Sorry, but I think you would be hard pressed to find one dcparent who would be willing to work 10 hours without a break so why should you be expected to??

My daycare mantra regarding naps is this - IF YOUR CHILD HAS OUTGROWN THEIR NAP THEY HAVE OUTGROWN MY DAYCARE.

And I mean it. Kids nap here or they leave care - period.
