Our classrooms provide a consistent, calming rest period each day. We follow safe sleep practices and individualize routines based on children's developmental needs and ages. While some children may sleep during rest time, others may simply need quiet time to relax and recharge.

We encourage children with positive reinforcement and patience, without pressure or shame.
