So I'm starting a new Montessori school in the mountains of Virginia, and one of Montessori's future aims was children having a larger presence outdoors in the open air. Setting aside any potential licensing issues, one of my ideals would be having the nap area outside with children sleeping on hammocks that either each have some sort of tarp or the area itself being under a tarp to protect from precipitation. I know nothing about camping, hammocks, etc., so I was wondering if anyone here knew of good hammocks to buy/make that would fit this purpose.
The initial group of children will be 2.5-3 years old but the casa would eventually grow to have children of 6+ years old, though they would likely not be utilizing the nap area as much as the younger ones. Given the large number of children that would be ultimately inhabiting our space, I would guess that hammocks that just fit their body lengths would be the most practical. Any help, even if it doesn't directly answer my question, would be appreciated. You would be helping out a number of deserving children!
