Sleep can be one of the biggest topics in family life. Early starts, bedtime battles, changing naps and restless nights are all common in the early years.  A predictable routine can help children feel safe and ready for sleep. But every child is different. Some children settle best with quiet, low light and stillness. Others need movement, sensory input, deep pressure or extra connection before their body feels calm enough to rest. At Sanctuary Early Learning Adventure, we believe sleep and rest routines should support the whole child. That means noticing each child’s needs, working in partnership with families and creating rhythms that feel safe, respectful and realistic.
