I have to set up playpens/beds and take them down daily too since my playroom is also my sleep room. My day looks a lot like yours, very busy, except that I do all of my dishes in the evening. While the children sleep for 2 hours in the afternoon I surf the net or read, but I relax and that gives me a bit of down time which evergizes me to get through the rest of my long day. I wish I had a dishwasher to take that load off me.
I have children picked up between 3:40 and 4:40 in the afternoon so at about 4pm when there are only a couple of children left I get them to help in the toy cleanup and leave them with a few of their favourite things so I can start sweeping, run the dishwater for the dishes and get them soaking, start a load of laundry (everything is on one floor and within sight of the children) or I can start prepping food or crafts for the next day. But I'm letting the children freeplay for the last hour of the day so I can finish up that day's work and start the next day's work.
I was feeling burned out when I started and I realized it was ok to get a few things done during daycare hours while the children played or coloured. They are always happy no matter what they are doing and I'm less tired at the end of the day.
