It will only be a couple of months before they can move to a better schedule so not worrying so much about lessons with the three year olds that includes you is one way to go. I would rather a mixed up day than deal with crying babies that are hungry and tired.
Experiment with keeping the one child up a few minutes longer each day and putting the others down a few minutes earlier each day and soon they will all be going down the same time in the morning which will put them on more of a similar afternoon schedule too.
I guess this will all depend on what time you open. Obviously if you're accepting children into care at 6:30 they will need an earlier nap time. I don't open until 7:30 so kids nap at the time I stated. I wouldn't want to start work at 6:30...ick, that's early!
