BlueRose is right, check out the prices in your area. As far as having more than one infant in care, I started out with 5 children all under age 2 and it was great. They all grew together and I didn't have any turnover for 3 years. However, then I was out of practice with babies and interviewing when I started all over again, but I have a new group of 5 all under the age of 3 and it all came back to me quickly. Now I have another group growing up together. I love it.
