Is Naptime Necessary?

Introduction:

This unit is about the importance of naptime for young children. Just as children need nutritious food and exercise to build healthy bodies, young children also need a regular, predictable rest time every day. This time is important for children’s health, and it helps them have better behavior at the end of the day. This unit will discuss how to make rest time a successful and positive part of your childcare day.
