LO loses her spot at her current daycare at the end of the month. I've looked for a new place for 4 months and have only found one in my city with the hours I need (7:30 - 5:30, I'm not being very picky).

So we decided to enroll in the only option. Its a small one woman in home day care. She is watching three other kids. I read her contract and it has all the standard stuff plus some extra. So I'm pretty sure she wrote it herself and it's not just a form she found online.

I was fine until I got to the part that said "all children will be required to lay down quietly during nap time. I will not force a child to nap but they must rest quietly." Well, crap. My 12 month old is not going to do that. We're working on nap training with her current day care and it ain't working. On good days she goes down for 30 min in a swing. I gave them a new nap routine to try along with a pacifier this week and they laughed at me at pick up. "She will NOT be contained with a pacifier," they said.

What's a mama to do? Do I ask the new day care about the policy and be forthcoming that I have (essentially) a non-napper or do I enroll her and hope for the best? Do you think that part of the contract really means anything?
