Ditto here too except nap/quiet time is done at 2:00 p.m. for me. I don't know at what time your rest period starts but I start mine at noon so that they get at least 2 hours of rest time. I pick up my DD and other DCG from school at 2:30 p.m. so I can't go any later than 2 p.m. but the kids seem just fine with 2 hours of rest. Those that don't fall asleep within 20 minutes get to read quietly. Those that get up early get to play outside and I just check on the sleeping kids regularly (I can still see the nappers from outside). At 2pm I open the blinds and the others begin to stir.
