We are visiting a daycare tomorrow and we 100% need to get the spots in the daycare. We live in a remote area with very few options. We've been on the list for 3.5 years for a couple of centers and there's still a lot a people ahead of us on the list. Our friends have their daughter at this home based daycare and they have 3 spots opening up. They reached out to us to see if we'd be interested in 2 of the spots for our 2.75 year old and 10 month old.

I'm very worried because my 2.75 year old recently started refusing naps. Around 6 months ago was the first refusal of naps, but I doubled down on quiet time and he eventually went back to napping. However for the last 2 months, nothing has worked to get my toddler to nap. He's the most chill kid ever though and can play independently by himself for hours. So it hasn't really been a big problem at home. He's not cranky or anything when he doesn't nap. He's completely normal. He dropped to 1 nap early too.

I guess I'm worried about the daycare not accepting us because he doesn't nap. How should I approach this with them tomorrow? We desperately need the space because I need to go back to work.

My toddler is also potty trained, eats independently, follows routines well, and is very happy and easy going. He is capable of spending an hour by himself quietly doing puzzles. He can do 60 piece puzzles and they take him around 30 minutes to do.

My 10 month old is sleep trained and naps twice a day. He's more sensitive than my first but is overall pretty chill too and plays next to his brother with few issues most of the day.
