I took a break from babies thinking it was easier to take on older ones, but when they start at 1, YOU get to mold them to YOUR daycare. It's an investment that I find always pays off. Then also your ages are a little more scattered for when kids start school and you start over with new ones.
I vote baby!
I agree!!! I love getting them at 12 months. Easy to mold to my program, love the nice long afternoon naps and easier to transition then an older child. I have had a hard time transitioning an older child and by 3 they already have their 'attitude' and personality that is really hard to change if it doesn't fit in with our schedule and program, not to mention that they will be off to school soon and you'll have to go through the whole process of advertising and interviewing again. My votes are always for the babies...and a double vote because the parents are awesome.
