I've done that, too.
Works pretty well but my ratio does not change at naptime so it requires no extra work from me.
I can see it not being something a center would be willing to manage though since that is when they cut down to one teacher for mandatory staff lunch breaks. If the kids don't stay on their mats the ratios goes back to two teachers required. At age 5 his classroom would be 30/2 awake, 30/1 during nap, here.
As long as he stays on his mat and does not require much interaction from the provider, it really should not be an issue for them at all.
