Hi Everyone
I am in the process of opening my own home daycare (my size of place the state says I can have up to 4 kids at a time) and am stuck on nap time. I have tried to find those Red & Blue kinder mats, but walmart does not sell them anymore- at least not cheap (they are like $15). My state only requires, for a home center that each child be given an "individual mat or cot to sleep". And it leaves room for leeway. My question is several.
Cots are really expensive, and it seems the mats are too.... When I was in Kindergarten, our school had these thick braided rugs they gave us, and it was OK because they could be washed- I know fabric is OK as kids can have mat sheets, their own blankets etc.
How do you handle naptime? My budget is obviously low, but the local dollar general has those thick braided rugs for $5 each...... they are about 1/4 inch thick.. I wonder?
Also, cubbies- since each child is required to have their own space, I wonder if those Fabric cubes placed on a bookshelf would suffice?
Thanks
