Nap Mat

Nap Mat

Preschool is a big step for your child and the parent alike. For some children it is the first time to be away from home. For others that have been in daycare, preschool is a major move away from the people that they are familiar with onto new faces and strange places. Nap MatA parent can get anxious about the new transition but to make things easier for you is to know all the supplies needed for your child ahead of time. Meet with the preschool teacher weeks ahead and get a list of all the supplies your child will need. On the list you will see that your child will need a Nap Mat for nap time every day.

A good idea is to get your child excited about preschool and get them involved in picking out all the new supplies. Explain to your child that they will be expected to take a nap every day and they will have a special Nap Mat that will be theirs. You may even buy the Nap Map a few months early and have your child take a nap at home on the mat. When your child goes to preschool, they will feel more comfortable at nap time with a familiar mat from home. It will be a safe and secure feeling for them and your child will have a sense of home at school.

Choosing The Right Nap Mat

Unless your preschool demands a certain brand or color for your Nap Mat, the choices are endless. The uniqueness of the Nap Mat is important to what your child enjoys. There are a wide range of colors and characters featured on the Nap Mat. It comes in themes like Animal Friends, Flower Power, Dinosaur Pals, Sports, Fireman, Princesses, Bears, or Polka Dots. Disney characters or cartoon characters are also available on some Nap Mats. You and your child can decide and that will make nap time more enjoyable for your child.

Some Nap Mats include a poly-fill pillow with the cotton/polyester fabric with polyester batting fill. They come with an attached blanket lined with 100 percent cotton flannel, with a light layer of polyester fill for added warmth. The Nap Mat is machine washable on the gentle cycle using cold water.

The Pillow is removable and the nap mat will easily roll-up with a Velcro closure. The mat is lightweight and has a handy carrying strap.  The Nap Mat is very compact and folds into a convenient package complete with a handle. Or it will fold into its clear PVC carry backpack styled case, that even little kids can tote it around with ease.

The Nap Mat is an important part of preschool and your child will be able to enjoy nap time a little better. Nap Mat’s are great for the house as well. Make your transition to preschool fun and exciting with a comfortable new Nap Mat.

I think you have to get certified with red cross for CPR and then the health department to get certified to serve hot meals and meet health codes and your only allowed a certain number of kids by the state requirements. I would also advertise in your community neighborhood and church community. Good Luck!

    To answer most of this I highly recommend checking with your local health department not only about your local rules about certification and registration but also they typically offer classes that will answer most of this. The price you charge is different depending on where you live, even from one side of town to the other. The number of kids depends on what is legal in your area as well as what you can handle. Typically you offer breakfast, lunch, and two snacks, diapers and formula/breastmilk are provided by the parent. You should write up a contract, the class will help with this, that includes your open hours, late fees, when payment is made and any paid days off you get. You can advertise on craigslist.com but another good way to find kids is by word of mouth. Pass the word that you are open and certified around church or with friends.
