Sleeping & Quiet Time

After lunchtime the children go for a nap. This daily routine starts with as much undressing by themselves as possible, depending on the age. The child gets his/her teddy or comforter from their private basket and is lovingly put to rest. The children sleep on a mat put out in the classroom and each child is provided with his/her own blanket and pillow. During sleeping-time the teaching staff is always there to supervise the children.

The older children have a reduced sleeping time. But as a day at the Kindergarten is more tiring than a day at home, even the short or non-sleepers need time to calm down. Starting from 3.5 years old the midday sleeping-time will be gradually reduced to zero, with the transfer to the primary school in mind. During this period they can relax in the soft corner, play games at a table or read books.

Air Purifiers are permanently installed at SmartKids in all classes. Using an Air Purifier during the rest- / sleeping times helps your child’s body to recuperate.
