It's great that you were able to fill your daycare so quickly and with your background it sounds like you are well qualified and experienced with small children so you will know what to expect. Personally, I know I could not handle that many babies at once and especially if they are all starting at the same time. When I opened two years ago, I had my own two (3 and 8 months) and I took in two (a baby and a toddler) a month apart so each had time to adjust. Another month down the road and I decided to take one more who was almost 2. After that I waited almost six months before adding the fourth and another eight months to add the fifth. At one point I had three 12 month olds at once and the others were over 2 and I found that a challenge...at first it was okay, but when they all hit 16-18 months I found it quite difficult to go to the park etc as they would try to run in opposite directions etc. and all were learning bad habits from each other (hitting, screaming, biting, etc). Since that time I have decided that I don't want more than two under 18 months at one time and no more than three under the age of two. For me, this has made things run much more smoothly and I am now able to do the kinds of learning activities etc that I want to do as well as manage park outings much more easily etc. If you are going to have that many babies and toddlers you will need a 5-6 seater stroller and you may find outside time very very difficult at first as you will likely have many non-walkers or new walkers who will have trouble with the snow and slush that is still around in April. Good luck!
