At Oz Education, we understand the importance of nap time for toddlers. Nap time offers numerous benefits for the overall well-being and development of young children. It provides them with the opportunity to recharge, rest, and rejuvenate, leading to improved mood, behavior, and cognitive function.
We provide each child with sufficient sleep and rest time throughout the day in accordance with safe sleeping practices. We also recognise that each child is different and accommodate individual rest time and routines.
Each day, our children are given the opportunity to rest after lunch. During rest time at Oz Education, children have the chance to relax and unwind in a comfortable and safe environment. This helps in reducing fatigue and irritability while enhancing their ability to focus and engage in learning and play activities.
Moreover, regular nap time has been linked to better physical health in toddlers, as it supports growth, immune function, and overall vitality. It also plays a crucial role in regulating emotions and promoting emotional development, helping toddlers to manage their feelings and reactions effectively.
Children who do not wish to sleep are encouraged to have a rest to revitalize their bodies. Preschoolers who are required by their family not to rest or are beginning to transition out of rest time to get ready for a nap-free school routine, engage in quiet activities during this period.
At Oz Education, our dedicated educators recognize the significance of nap time in toddlers’ routines and strive to create a peaceful and soothing atmosphere by sitting with children and playing calming background music. By prioritizing and facilitating nap time, we aim to support the holistic development and well-being of the toddlers in our care.
