My daycare is right in my kitchen. I know it's sounds weird but my kitchen is super spacious and I have this area at the end of the Kitchen that we use to use as a reading place. That is now the toy room. Then right out of my kitchen it leads to another room that I know use as a craft/quiete time room. I know what you mean!! But so far I think it's been pretty manageable. I make sure that these are the ONLY area in my house that we use during daycare and make sure toys and crafts stays within those limits too.I try not to take out to many toys at the same time so it's not too messy. What I would love to do once I have more income is have nice curtains so that when I entertain, I can close off the actual toyroom and I could also have plays and shows with the kids. It would feel just like a real stage But for now, I clean and pick up as we change from different acitivites and I kinda like looking at all the colors from the toys
