• Lunch: Lunch should be a relaxing time, and the meal should be served family style,with staff and children eating together. Children should set their own table and decorate them with placements and flowers. Children should also be involved in clean up after meals and snacks.
• Relaxation: After lunch, children should have a chance to relax; perhaps to stories, records and music.
• Nap Time: Children who want to or need to should have a chance to rest or sleep. For those who don’t need it or can’t sleep on a particular day, quiet activities should be available.
