I have my large finished basement as my main daycare space. I am very happy with the set-up down there and the children really enjoy the centers, sensory table, easel, and multitude of toys and activities. However, my living room/dining room area serves as our "meet and greet" space. This is where everyone is dropped off in the morning. We spend about 1 - 1 1/2 hours in this area each morning as everyone is dropped off and the parents give me updates, instructions, etc. In the past I have rotated many different types of toys through this area. I'd like to try just having toys without a million parts and pieces up there to quicken the clean-up process and keep this area relatively tidy for drop-in guests and pick-ups. I don't have enough materials yet and was hoping you all would have some ideas of things I could add to the rotation.
Here is what I already have:
dress-up dolls (the ones with the zippers, snaps, buttons, etc.)
bead trackers
a few wooden manipulatives
abacus
a pop-up toy (for infants)
jack-in-the box
push spin toy (for infants)
There is also a front-facing bookcase & I update the books weekly. I'd like to have enough things to rotate twice monthly and have variety. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
