Also, our basement is fully finished, insulated, carpeted, lots of light and actually we do get a lot of natural light from the windows there. However, I'm surprised at thenumber of daycares I interviewed when I was looking for care for my kids and also looking at ads w/ pixs posted at how many daycares were playrooms in unfinished basements. Area rugs on the floor, or sometimes not, bare concrete walls, sometimes just bedsheets tacked up on the wall over the pink insulation.... sooo surprised! It didnt affect my decision on where my kids went, but I was surprised to see that...
