What are the sleeping arrangements at your child's preschool?
1. What do they sleep on? (E.g. Bed, cot, mat)
2. What room do they sleep in? Is there a separate or designated sleeping room?
3. What is the sheet/bedding situatio? Who cleans it and how often?

Mine was in preschool last year (was also his full time daycare, not sure if that will make a difference)
1. Cot
2. They sleep in their classroom. The cots are set up while they are eating lunch.
3. Parents are responsible for bringing in a sheet, they have a cubby to put it in. Parents are supposed to take it home weekly to wash. If the child had an accident during nap time they would bag it up for us to take home and launder. -
two different schools
1. cot/cot
2. sleep in their classroom/sleep in separate unused classroom
3. we bring a sheet: they cleaned it weekly/we bring it home and clean it every other week (only go 2 days a week) -
1. Mattress
2. Separate sleeping room
3. We bring a blanket (AA swaddle) and they provide the sheet. The blanket is sent home every Friday and they wash the sheets. -
Cots, same room as they do everything in, blankets provided by the daycare and washed I believe daily by the teachers on site.

Bumping for more experiences. Just want to make sure I'm not being unreasonable in my expectations for what I think are reasonable sleeping arrangements. Thanks!

1. What do they sleep on? cot
2. What room do they sleep in? Their main room that they do everything in.
3. What is the sheet/bedding situation? Who cleans it and how often? We bring a sheet and blanket every Monday, take them home Friday to wash. -
1. What do they sleep on? Mat
2. What room do they sleep in? Their main room - no separate sleeping room
3. What is the sheet/bedding situation? Who cleans it and how often? We send a sheet and a blanket (and a pillow) every Monday and bring them home on Friday to wash.ETA: If there are accidents or something else happens that gets their sheet/blanket dirty during the week, they send it home that day and I either wash it that night or send a replacement for the next day.
-
As others have said - sleep on cots, in the main room (set up cots during lunch). We send a sheet and blanket on Monday, they send it home on Friday for us to wash it.
-
1. Cot
2. They sleep in an alcove off the main room.
3. I send all bedding on Monday, it comes home Friday to wash. -
1. One of those stackable cots.
2. The classroom.
3. We've done two preschools and two daycares over the years. At the two daycares, we used a small pillow and blanket. At the two preschools, we used one of those roll-up nappers that is a mini-sleeping bag with a pillow and blanket attached. Bedding was usually sent home every other week at all places. -
1. Mats on the floor
2. Same room as everything else
3. We send in a sheet and blanket on monday, it is sent home on Fridays for washing. -
So DS is in daycare (and a little younger than preschool age) but I imagine the preschool age classes are the same:
1. Cot
2. His classroom
3. We bring in a clean sheet/blanket every Monday and take home Friday to wash. -
1. cot
2. regular classroom
3. daycare provides sheets and wash them weekly. You provide blanket, can be laundered at center or sent home. -
1. Mat
2. The main room. They each have a space on the floor that is "their" space consistently but there is no separate room.
3. We bring in a clean sheet and blanket on Monday and take them home on Friday.
-
1. mat
2. main room
3. daycare provides sheet (it's a customized sheet that's you can slide the mat into, then tie the sheet on), parents provide blanket; both are given to parents every friday to wash and return on monday -
Daycare provides each kid with a little mat that looks like a gym mat. Each child sleeps on top of that mat in a nap roll (looks like a small sleeping bag) that the parent provides, plus any other blankets or loveys the child wants. The children sleep in certain classrooms that have been designated for naps (there are 3 larger rooms so the kids sleep in those rooms). The teachers sit in the dark classrooms with the kids for 2 hours.
Nap rolls get sent home every Friday to get washed (unless they get really dirty before then).
ETA: the kids get assigned a specific mat with a label on it so they always sleep on the same one. They are sanitized by daycare staff but they want to prevent any germs spreading between mats.
-
School provides a mat and sheet. They number the mats so each kid uses the same one each day and wash the sheets weekly. We provide a blanket and wash as frequently as we think it's needed. The kids sleep in their room. The whole school takes naps at the same time, so they turn off all the room lights.
-
1. Cot
2. In the same room, they spread them all out and each kid has their own spot.
3. We bring a sheet and a blanket and bring home to wash on Fridays. -
What are the sleeping arrangements at your child's preschool?
1. Stackable cot
2. In the classroom (no separate sleeping room) - the cots are set up during lunch
3. Everyone brings a nap mat (which looks like a mini sleeping bag with a pillow built in). Nappers are sent home on Fridays (or more often if there is an accident or other reason they need to be laundered). -
1. Stackable cot
2. In the classroom, scattered around
3. Sheet/blanket are sent home on Fridays for parents to wash -
There was no napping at our preschool as it wasn't an all day program, but when my son was in daycare at age 2 to 3:
1. stackable cot, parents provided the linens
2. in the main room
3. linens sent home on Friday for the parents to launder -
1. Mat
2. In the main room
3. They wash all linens and provide the sheet, we provide the blanket. -
All the preschool (and older) kids sleep in the finished basement, which is a huge open space that is also used as the indoor playroom in bad weather. They have cots. We supply all bedding - sheets, blankets, pillows - which we bring in on Monday and take home on Friday to wash. Younger kids (so under 3) sleep in their classrooms on mats. Bedding is handled the same as above.
-
1. padded mat
2. in the classroom
3. parents bring a crib sheet and blanket inside a pillowcase on Monday, and take it home on Friday to wash. -
Don't have kids, but taught at two daycares, both the same process for the post-crib kids:
1. Floor mat
2. In the classroom
3. Parents supply all bedding and should take it home to wash once a week. -
Mat/in the classroom/we supply sheet and blanket and they wash it there
-
1. Cot
2. In the classroom
3. We bring sheet and blanket on mon, bring home to wash on Friday. -
1. Stackable cot
2. Scattered around the classroom, the light are turned out, the shades are pulled and lullabies are played.
3. Parents supply a fitted sheet and a blanket, sent home on Fridays to be laundered -
DS is 22 months and has been to 3 daycares. At all of them (2 centers and 1 in home), he slept on a stackable cot (once he turned one) in the same room they are in all day. One place had us bring a sheet and blanket and at the other two, we just had to bring a blanket and they provided the sheet. I would take home whatever bedding we provided on Friday and bring it back washed on Monday. One place required the lights to be on, like full blast, during nap. I pulled him from that place after a month.

My LO is younger but the preschool class at her old daycare:
Slept on stackable cots
In an unused classroom next to their main room (toddlers sleep in their classroom)
And bedding was provided by and cleaned by the daycare each week. -
1. What do they sleep on? Mat
2. What room do they sleep in? Same room as playing but a slightly different section
3. What is the sheet/bedding situation? Daycare provides and cleans the sheets once a week. -
@Meowkers: We provided a nap mat - it went right on the floor - we dropped it off monday and took home friday to wash
They slept in the classroom - same place they played/worked/ ate (well technically they slept where they played since that portion had carpet)
-
@Meowkers: what's the current nap situation that has you troubled?
-
Thank you so much everyone for your feedback.
@birdofafeather: we toured a school that had mats on the floor in the classroom where the kids did everything else in. The sheets and blankets are sent home on Friday with one family to launder and it rotates to a different family every week. The whole sleeping and bedding arrangement really turned me off. My friend tried to tell me that's how all schools are so I decided to take a survey to see if my expectations are unreasonable.
-
@Meowkers: I would think it's weird to have one family launder everything. You'd think you could easily opt out of that if you wanted to. I wouldn't want a family that uses scented detergent washing my kid's blanket and sheet!
-
@petitenoisette: I agree. I just imagine someone throwing in bathroom rugs with my kid's sheets and it grosses me out. I also don't like he idea of my child sleeping practically on the floor (mat) where everyone walks in their dirty shoes.
-
@Meowkers: The mat thing doesn't really bother me, they'd still be off the floor. The one family laundering everything is super weird, but seems like it would be easy enough to opt out of.
-
@Meowkers: Giving everything to one family to wash is unusual, but the mats on the floor is very common, though you may be able to find somewhere that does cots. FWIW we did bleach them every day.

The pre-school kids bring in their own nap mats ( sleeping bag-ish) and those are set up on a thicker plastic mat you might find in a gym class. Every week parents take their kid’s mat home to launder. Naps take place in the same room the kids learn, play, and eat.
That is too much pressure to launder all the mats! I wouldn’t want my kids mat going to a possible home where smokers live.
