10 hour days are way too long for the child, not just for us. That's why my limit is 9 hours and I'm lucky to always have had at least one or two families who arranged for shorter days so that arrangement such as Mom will drop off and Dad will pick up, or grandparents have helped out in some cases so that they only used 7-8 hours a lot.
If you are still in your first year in the business then keep up the great work and you will learn so much as the years go by. You get better at organizing, streamlining your systems for meals especially, planning crafts and lessons, but don't forget that letting the children play is important. You don't have to be the entertainment ALL the time! In other words, don't get burned out from working much too hard.
But did you fill that space? Hope everything is working out.
