Mine is 12x12 and I keep 6. However they can also bring a few toys out into the family room which is 20x16 -
Does that include toys or just bare floor space?Comment

Right now, my kids pretty much have free access to 3,000 sq ft. The entire upstairs is off limits during the day. Their playroom, alone, is just under 400 sq ft.
They have their own playroom with tons of toys, the formal dining room is set up for a classroom. My formal living room has I table that I rotate blocks, puzzles, etc on. They seem to play mostly in the family room, dragging the toys from the playroom. Then of course, there's the kitchen and dining area. The kitchen has an island and they like to ride their little ride ons around there and through the dining, living, and family rooms.
I did daycare for 22 yrs in a 1,000 sq ft house. The kids had access to about 600 sq ft.Comment

that's with toys, they can also bring out the toys in the family room where I play the educational movies, they can color at the kitchen table, play computer games for the older kids at my dining room table and read in the living room during free play time. Basically my downstairs is 1500 sq ft and they have access to all rooms but they pretty much stay in the toy room and family room.Comment

My daycare space is right around 1100 square feet.
(We have no furniture except a child size stop sign shaped table with 8 chairs and one Little Tikes table with 4 chairs)
I keep 12-14 full timers during summer months and 10-12full timers during the school year.
The kids have access to the whole house.Comment

I have 700 square feet of dedicated daycare space in my basement. Upstairs I have 1360 square feet. They use the bedrooms for naps and the living and dining room. I usually have 6 kids.Comment

Our facility is just under 1700 square feet on one level. The kids (16) have almost all that space. My son lives here, but uses only one bedroom as his private space. The rest belongs to the kids.
master bedroom = large playroom for babies and toddlers. Low storage units divide the room and make a wall so that babies can be corralled and bigger kids can still go back and forth to the bathroom. Large walk-in closet is now a playhouse!
master bathroom = kids bathroom with changing table built over the tub. Kids blankets are stored underneath in the tub. Separate shower stall is not used...has been lined with shelves and is used as a storage closet!
dining room = lunch room/art room with kid size tables and chairs
living room = open play area with slide/climber, log cabin playhouse etc. This equipment used to be outside. Now we can use it year round and the kids can still climb, jump etc when the weather does not allow outside play and get their wiggles out!
den = playroom with blocks, lego's, cars etc in clear drawers for easy access
small bathroom = staff only bathroom
bedroom = media room/library. All our books, videos etc.
I have painted large murals all over the walls...it's the kids place. Baby room has a Noah's Ark theme. Living room play area has an outdoor feel and woodland theme with trees, bears etc. Media room has a Hollywood theme. Bathroom has a ocean theme. Den has a Americana school house theme.Comment

wow! I would love to see pictures!
That's something I have always wanted to do... themes!!
I guess I'm a little selfish because I like my home to look like MY home, the kids playroom is all decked out like a daycare of course and we sorta have a princess theme and the outdoor toddler area looks awesome but my living room is super nice and doesn't even look like kids live here!
nothing breakable or dangerous just really nice.
they have about 1000 square feet of play space indoors if you include the fenced in toddler area. We have 12 kids usually in the summer.Comment

I am just lucky to be able to do it this way. We moved out of the day care house (our son lives there now) and bought our dream house in the next city after 25 years of saving. My house is about an UN-baby proof as you can get! I love the two different worlds!Comment
