That's so funny, this was my original plan! I thought it was such a smart and new idea. I had thought though to offer it from 9-11:30 as a "preschool prep/discovery" type program and allow them to socialize and give mom's a break. I also thought that I could add an afternoon group if things picked up and offer it from 1-2:30pm allowing me ample time to do the school pickup. My plan had been to offer a "group" everyday so a different bunch would come every Monday and another bunch on Tues etc and they would pay for 10 wks up front (so if they drop out, miss a wk or whatever I would be covered). I also thought this would be perfect to have "friends" for my girls and not have to have kids "full time."

A couple of things I realized.

1) This isn't as new an idea as I thought. A lot of play type places offer something like this now and some community centres as well.

2) There might not be as much demand in my area (Toronto) as most people are 2 income families).

3) You may always be dealing with transitioning kids as you would only have them for a short time period.

4) You will spend a lot of time interviewing (if you still bother with this for such a short time and commitment) and recruiting.

I think if your area has a need, go for it. I think it would be fun.
