Right now I just have part timers but will have a full time infant start in March. So, as of now my drop off and pickup times vary from day to day.

Earliest drop off is 7:45 and latest pickup is 5:15.

Morning nap time varies depending on the child. I use to have one that arrived at 7:00 and needed to go down as soon as she got here. Another one I have when he was an infant needed a nap from 9:00-10:00. So, I'm flexible on morning nap.

I offer breakfast between 8:00-8:30. If they arrive after 8:30 they need to already have eaten.

I offer a green smoothie at 10:00.

Lunch at 11:30

Nap from 1:00-3:00

Snack at 3:15

Open 7am-6pm.
Breakfast 8
AM snack 9:45
Nap 10-11 (allowed to sleep until 12 if not awake at 11)
Lunch 12
PM snack 2:30
Nap 3-4 (allowed to sleep until pick up if not awake at 4)
Late PM snack (for the one who stays until closing) 5

Side note, I have a very young group (all under age 2) so my little ones often take long naps. Only one of them has a parent who wants them woken up from naps after 1.5 hrs if they don’t wake on their own, the rest of the parents like for me to let them sleep. I have one who routinely takes a 2 hr nap in the am and a 2-3 hr nap in the afternoon!

My parents drop off between 7:30a and 9 and pick up anywhere from 3p - 4:30p most days. I have all work from home, non-traditional schedules, etc. so really nice laid back schedule. I also just moved to the 4-day schedule in September and I LOVE having Fridays off. All of my families stayed when I dropped Fridays.
