Small daycare space

[mickyc]

bright sparks - as a parent I would certainly not take the size of a daycare space as the main reason I pick one place over another. You sound like a wonderful daycare provider and the space should not be an issue with anyone meeting you. Where I was going with what I said is that if I (as a parent) were to pick between 2 daycare's both with what seemed like great providers I would go for the larger space.

In our area I have seen some pretty small places from toys I have bought from them. One of my daycare parents told me their previous daycare would put the children in a small room (approx. 10x10) and put a baby gate over the door and leave them in there to play. They rarely ever came out. Needless to say they didn't stay there long.

I am sure your space will be great!

I am nervous but its still empty having still got the final drywall, carpet and paint to do for setup next weekend. Its hard to really know what a room is like when it is empty. I'm just being anxious...

My daycare space is 18 x 15 this space was originally a garage and converted into a large office space. The only priblem is I have to use heaters in the winter. The side entrance is for the parents. You can view pics in my site at www.justlikehomedaycare.ca. I cannot imagine a 10x10 room.
