You have a good thing going with the lunch situation! That is really the only time now that I feel a bit overwhelmed. Just trying to monitor the playroom while making lunch. Sometimes my dh will make pancakes for the dcks for breakfast, and it is the highlight of everyone's day.

I used to have 10-12 dcks, including SA's, but now just preschool age. I have six kids, ages 2-4. I am a registered child care home in Texas.

Great post--I will enjoy seeing all the different programs we have here.

Legally unlicensed and allowed 2 kids in addition to my own. Our own do not count in numbers unless we become liscesned.
Currently have 4 kids, my own 3 and 1 dcb. Had a second kiddo get done around my third child's birth and well, I've been extremely picky about who I fill the spot with . Honestly, I'm enjoying a lighter day right now! I homeschool as well. Youngest is 2 months, then 20 months, almost 3 and 4.5. I accept kids 6 weeks-5yrs.

I work alone.

Registered Home daycare, we're allowed 6 FT and 4 SA. Right now I'm down to 5 because one is out til April. The past several summers I've had 10 dcks and I'm so tired of it.
I have a smallish home, 960 sq.' and use the whole main floor for dc because it's just me and my pups.
Ages are 19 mo twins, 2 1/2, almost 3, and 4. All girls. In fact, except for 1 SA dcb who probably won't be coming again, I've had just girls for maybe 3 years. Dcm who just had a baby and will be starting at some point, had a girl. Phew.
