Outside play periods Outside play Children in our programs spend some time outdoors each day - even in cold weather. Our general rule is that children may play outside when the combination of temperature and wind chill factor is 25 or above, will have to participate in water play if the temperature is 80 or above. All children in the day care programs have a 1 to 2 hour rest period each day when each child is encouraged to sleep.
Infants sleep as often as necessary and according to individual schedules.
