I am allowed to have 3 under 18 months. If I could pick all of my kids according to age, I would have all over 12 months. However, I live in a big city with a lot of daycares around, so I take what I can get.

I take ages 6wks to 4yrs
I only accept one under 18mo (I can have more legally) and never part time under 12 months. I learned this the hard way with a pt infant that screamed 24/7
When I started I had 2 infants (a week apart, started at 4 months) plus my 2yr old crowd and I really liked the infant/toddler (under 2) but I've noticed over time my preference has been changing from the infants to the 18mo-3yrs age group.Comment

I can have 3 under 2, one of which must be walking. I will be opening in 2 weeks and have 2 infants already signed up. I thought I had wanted to care for ages 8 weeks-5yrs until I had a little preview of what caring for an infant was like for a few weeks at the beginning of summer. I decided after 2 days that I didn't want to take infants. Just the thought of trying to run a preschool program plus the demands of an infant (at least 2 hours/day one-on-one care for each infant) just turned me off on wanting to care for infants.
Buuuuut that being said... I had already agreed to take these 2 way back in April. I figured the least I could do was try it and see how everything works once I'm open. I've already changed the ages I accept on all my paperwork. They'll be 6 months old when they start so hopefully it won't be too bad. (fingers crossed!!) Maybe in the future if I expand my daycare and need to hire an assistant I may offer infant care again.Comment
