Hi Jen,

There are a few things to consider with your child’s difficulties in regards to sleeping through the day/ night.

Some things to consider are:

How long has your child been attending the centre?
The number of days your child attends?
Your childs age?
What is the norm for his age/ stage of develoopment?
Is your son using any comforters during the day to relax/calm him?
If your child sleeps at the centre is this consistant?
How long is the sleep/ rest period of the daily routine at the centre ?
Is the environment calm and soothing to set the mood for a relaxing atmosphere, to help aid the sleep & relaxation time in the centre?

For more information,I would advise you to discuss all your concerns with your child’s educators and they should be able to provide you with some more advice & sleep/ settling information.

Goodluck and I wish you all the best.

I agree with the sentiment of this article, however, the choice often comes down to which centre has vacancies at the time you need them. We don’t always have the luxury of planning 12-18 months ahead of time.

As the owner Smartaupairs, an au pair agency, this issue is very close to my heart. Au Pairs are, with or without funding, a very affordable and flexible childcare solution.
