In my daycare the naptime is from 12:30, 1:00 to 2:30, 3:00, so yah, 2 hours is typical. In a daycare setting it is usually done like this because of Luches for your teachers. If you have say 15 children and 2 teachers, it makes since, an hour lunch for each teacher. In most cases this is the only break they will have!!! In a private daycare most providers do not have a second teacher so not only is it my hour lunch but i also use this time to clean the kitchen, prepare snack or just do somethings that i need to do. Out of a 12 to 13 hours day this two hours is the only time i have to catch my breath and regroup.
