My daycare area is the main floor of my townhouse. That was just the most practical area to do it with easy access to a bathroom, the kitchen and the back yard. The living room/dining room rectangular combo is pretty much the whole shebang. It's not huge (as you can imagine in a townhouse) - maybe 20x12? Not too sure. I have a large Ikea tv cabinet from many moons ago that is home to our puzzle centre, our daycare fish Murray, stuffed animals. It has large rolling drawers underneath housing on one side, our dress up clothes and on the other, our diaper station. I just lay a change pad on the floor to change the children as I'm not keen on change tables. The diapers are colour coded and my wipes, creams and first aid kit are in a basket with them for easy access. Another Ikea shelf (the one with coloured bins that looks like stairs) has blocks, train set, puppets, cars, etc. Dramatic play is beside that (a baby centre this month). Craft shelf to the back with child sized table and stools in the corner, then big people chairs, then reading area with book shelf, over stuffed pillows and an elephant and lady blow up air element chairs from Ikea (I love Ikea for daycare stuff!!!).

That's it....got all that in a teeny space and people seem to like it. I'm sure your place will be fabulous! You're at a really fun part right now. Enjoy!
