Nap times at infant care

Hi parents with kids in infant care! What are your kids’ naps like at infant care? My 7month old needs to nap every 2 hours or so, 3 naps a day, but I noticed that a typical schedule only has one afternoon nap each day between 7-7. I’m considering enrolling him at an infant care, but I’m very protective of his naps (he has major meltdowns if he misses his naps). Can your babies/toddlers really only nap once a day?

usually infants will have 2 nap times (1 in morning and 1 in the afternoon). my girl's school has 2 nap times (for IFC) too, so you may want to check with the school first?

Thanks Jasmine! I checked in with My First Skool and they said they would slowly transition babies so that they all end up napping at the same time in the afternoon. I thought it was very strange! If you don’t mind sharing, which ifc is your girl at?
