For those that have just kids 3yrs and older....
How many kids do you have by yourself? How much of your day is spent doing preschool and how much do you let them free play? Do you teach preschool all 5 days?
Right now I have 8 kids by myself. I am licensed to have 12, and applied for a license to have 16 but once I have 13 I legally have to have a helper. I'm wondering if I'll need a helper sooner than 13 though. Two of our "little kids" from our other building will be moving up in June (one will be 3 next week and the other won't be 3 till July, both boys) and I'm getting a new boy in June as well (4yrs old and used to a nice center so very well behaved). I'll be losing one of my preschoolers when school gets out in June, so that puts me at 10 kids (4 girls, 6 boys). A nice Center nearby is closing in June so there are plenty of teachers and assistants needing jobs, I just didn't know if or when I would want to hire help.
We have 2 full time workers and 2 PT workers at our "little house" but they also have 8 kids under 16 months and 4 two year olds, so they need the extra help. I'm just jealous that they have each other to talk to and help each other and I'm stuck by myself for 10 hours a day doing all the work.
