Instead of Playpen

[Kellybelly83]

I guess I was thinking younger than a year lol... don't get me wrong, I would not have a baby in an exersaucer for the entire day or even long periods, but I do find them useful at times for sure, if the bigger kids are playing a very active game etc.especially if it's a smaller space to work with. It's very true that the older kids need to learn to respect the younger one's space and vice versa, that's just how the world works I'm very fortunate to have a bedroom turned playroom right next to my daycare living room/play area, so it will be a little easier to separate the age groups as needed.

Yes, I've used exersaucer before...it's great when I have to keep the child with me as I prep meals, or when the bigger kids were involved in active play.

But this time around, I hope to focus on infants and toddlers (8 months old to 3 years old)....if I have two that are close in age, it would be nice to have them together in their own space to interact with each other.

I saw some gates (surround-something) which will be ideal. And yes, shelves are practical to section off space.

Thank you folks for your support! We are investing quite a substantial amount to this business - it is however a practical solution for us to get back into it - so you can just imagine the anxiety involved.
