Because my children make up half of the kids in my daycare, i use my entire house. I use the bedrooms for nap time so each child gets their own space to sleep in. I use my upper living room for my little toddlers. My kitchen is where i prepare all meals and then when the older kids come home from school they play in my basement where i have most of the toys put into separate rubber maid containers. They can only take out one container at a time, like dinosaurs or my little pony's. I wish i had the space for a separate complete area just for day care. Granted i don't plan on running my day care for very long. Just until my kids are in grade 1 and will be at school all day. I love children and being at home. I don't like having to deal with some parents.
