Daycare nap times don't match home - chaos
silvery-tamarin · 2/7/2026
Started nursery. They do one 1pm nap, we do 9:30 + 1:30 at home. He's miserable on nursery days. Should I shift home schedule to match?

Ask nursery to attempt 2 naps if he's clearly not ready - good nurseries will accommodate.
We shifted home to match nursery within 2 weeks. Way easier than fighting it.
Earlier bedtime on nursery days. 6pm instead of 7pm.
It's rough for the transition period but they adapt faster than you think.
