You are going to kill yourself with that schedule! Our bodies need routine and healthy sleep patterns. I know that for sure because I worked shift work for 10 years before I started my daycare.

I also know that the first year of daycare is really rough, but once you have great clients and they are recommending you to all their friends and co-workers you will not have trouble filling spaces any more. I'm turning people away left and right and this is only my 5th year in the business. Surprises still happen, new babies, families moving, but that's to be expected.

One more thing I know is that you can run a very successful daycare from an apartment because that's what I'm doing. My living room is my toyroom and my sleeproom. I just have to stash the 3 playpens and 2 cots away after naptime and set them up every day before naptime. I don't have a yard but the families who adore me know that I offer an amazing program.

Moral of the story: You can do anything and be successful if you are stubborn and determined! I'm one of those women!
