Housework during daycare hours

[Sandbox Sally]

I suspect others' daycares are more structured than mine.

I do circle and story, and outside time in the mornings, but other than that, it's free play. I don't do lessons as part of our day. Afternoons are nap, outside time or craft time, and other than that, free play. I have plenty of time to play and clean and prep food on the main level, where my daycare is.

The upstairs is always a mess though.

With the exception that my daycare is in the basement...it's pretty much the same here. The top floor (bedrooms....mine mostly) is a war zone. Main floor I can tidy while the kids free play or have snack. I do laundry during nap time as I watch a online episode of something or am on a forum. Then I can vacuum during evening free play. I have 2 siblings here until 6pm, I can't NOT do anything house related or it would be a disaster. Snacks or lunch time I load/unload the dishwasher. etc.
