I plan to have half the room in carpet and half the room in some kind of commercial grade vinyl (thicker, more durable and warmer) I have a rug doctor so I can wash the carpet no problem and I'm not a fan of rugs as IMO they can be a hazard for tripping on edges and even though you can put the non slip pieces underneath them to keep them in one place, I find that dust and crumbs quickly accumulate under them so it becomes more work to lift them and clean under them every day rather than just vacuum the carpet.
I have found a great website with resources for setting a daycare room up. Half the room is classified as wet which is then split in to 2 spaces for craft, water play, meals, entryway and the other half is classified as dry, split into 2 spaces again, 1 side a busy area for blocks, active play, cars etc and the other half is quiet play so storytime, circle time, puzzles etc. The website goes into great detail about configuiration of these areas in the room and defining the areas so the children understand what each space is for. I think this is a fabulous idea and I've really only scraped the surface of the things this website covers. Check it out and repost
