At daycare LO consistently takes one 2-2.5h nap. At home, he behaves like he still needs two naps, but then the afternoon nap is too late and bedtime is too late. He needs a 25h day for two naps to work.

But also I sort of wonder how close of attention they pay and whether she actually eats as well as they say or they just don't notice if another kid is eating her food lol. Lately she is napping better there, which is bizarre.

She hasn't napped at home in over a year, but at daycare she almost always takes a 2 hour nap! With eating, she is apparently way more open to a variety of foods at school that she won't touch at home. We often joke that the teachers must be lying on her activity sheets because we can't see her eating some of the things they claim!

In general she's way more easy going for them too, no tantrums at all LilSprinkles on "What does your LO do well at daycare/preschool but not at home?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-lo-do-well-at-daycarepreschool-but-not-at-home#post-2580334 Sat, 02 Jul 2016 20:53:16 +0000 LilSprinkles 2580334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Eating! He will try more foods and eat more of a variety at school. At home, the same foods are "yucky". gingerbebe on "What does your LO do well at daycare/preschool but not at home?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-lo-do-well-at-daycarepreschool-but-not-at-home#post-2580333 Sat, 02 Jul 2016 20:51:51 +0000 gingerbebe 2580333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Everything? Apparently he eats everything, including vegetables and pouches without squirting, is super happy and obedient, shares, and helps clean up toys.

She eats so much more during meals at school than she ever does at home.

LO is a great listener at school. LO is a star pupil and so well-behaved at school. Sometimes when I tell her teacher about tantrums and hard times in the morning she is utterly surprised. Also, nap. She never naps at home.

Seriously we only do one drop off morning a week but I'll warn the teachers when she's having a really bad day (week) with listening and at lick up they are like, yeah she was great, no problem! Then I'm like, ok cool lets put your coat on! And she screams. 😡 runnerd on "What does your LO do well at daycare/preschool but not at home?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-lo-do-well-at-daycarepreschool-but-not-at-home#post-2580280 Sat, 02 Jul 2016 16:16:44 +0000 runnerd 2580280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yea - eat was my first thought!

LO 2 usually finishes most of her food at school in a timely manner. They start eating at 11:30 and they are done at 12. It takes her so much longer to eat at home..45 mins+.
