    absolutely! I did the same thing as you....we started our daycare in a 1400 sf. ft home that we also lived in. Every room was multi-purpose between family and daycare and that alone caused a lot of stress on my family and the daycare kids. I really feel for providers that don't have a dedicated play space, bathroom, napping room. I think that is something that should be on the "why providers get burnt out" list.

    OP, loved your website. I almost bought that same bus toy (second hand)....how do your kids like it?
    The Preschoolers love the bus, as do all toddler/baby siblings that come to our Meet and Greets. All littles try and sit on the front portion of the bus. :: I suppose it looks like a nice chair.

    Our home is 2800 sq. feet. The upstairs if my family's space and our master bedroom/bathroom. Everything else is Preschool.

      I love natural wood, so I searched for the best prices. Most of the toys in the Preschool are made of wood (many are the Plan Toys brand).
      I ended up purchasing off of a variety of websites. The easiest to work with, by far, was discountschoolsupply.com. I have bought many things from them and they are all great.

        Erm, there is NEVER ENOUGH SPACE FOR KIDS!! ::

        We also have a full acre for them to explore outside and another 20 acres behind us that is free for us to use. It is great.
        Amen, sister!

        Behind our home is a greenbelt and across a little waterway are two parks and a field. We walk to the parks and field twice a day for recess. They love it.

        Also, where did you get that bus? I lovethis it!!!!!!!
        You are a hoot!
        I actually purchased that bus from Once Upon a Child (children's resale shop).

        Very well done. I want to know who did your picture of the bus in your blog. Great picture and nice looking home



        Actually even the pictures in your tour look great. Were these professionally done?
        The photos were professionally done. I'm a nut about good photography ... it's my "thing." Even though I can't do it. ::

          soo cool!

          So you only do preschool aged kids, correct? How long have you been doing this? I have been looking into opening either a preschool or daycare. I am currently an elementary school teacher, but I need a change... I want to be my own boss. Thanks.
