My big issue is going to be space and toy sharing among the three of my own kids and the daycare children. Right now the only child i have on the waiting list of my 1 year old niece. I am a little concerned with her getting into everything and have caught her more than once trying to sneak out the door with toys belonging to my kids. What do you do to separate the stuff belonging to your own children and the stuff you can share. I was thinking installing shelves in the bedroom.... i really want to sell this house and get a bigger one so we have more room for daycare fun! But for now its tight.

All of my own children's toys are in their rooms. If they are willing to share (and if I feel it won't be a hazard to younger kids) then they can bring their toys into the living room/play room. But otherwise they aren't allowed to take their toys out of their rooms. And vice versa for daycare toys. They have to stay in the daycare area.
My children's rooms are shut during the day and the older children know not to go in there. The younger ones haven't tried to go in, but if they did, I'd put up a gate.
Not sure if that's what you were looking for

Thanks. Well we have our living room opening into the dining room and then into the kitchen, not a lot of space but good enough for a small group of kids like we have. It would be easier to keep on eye on them if they were not going in and out of Avery's room, shes the oldest. And the twins room is off limits unless its diaper changing time. And of course we keep the bathroom door shut since one of my twins discovered the toliet has water in it! Ill have to test it out and see if we can work with the area we have... like i have said we need a bigger house soon"God said, ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart.

My kids keep their toys in their rooms as well. My youngest dd occasionally brings things down to share but most of the time she plays with the daycare toys during the day and then drags her stuff out in the evenings and weekends.
She's not allowed remove daycare toys from the playroom. I don't want to have to track them down elsewhere in the house.Comment

My kids were 5 & 7 when I started daycare. We went through their toys and chose ones to "donate" to the daycare. Their bedrooms were off limits unless invited in. Any toy brought out from their bedroom was fair game.Comment

I would keep thier rooms and personal toys off limits. Have a set of toys, just for daycare. YOUR kids bringing Their toys into the daycare area, is no different than allowing DCKs to bring in outside toys. It is just asking for trouble, IMHO.Comment
