    First off you need to forgive yourself for not running the perfect daycare and being the perfect provider for they don't exist.
    I would suggest taking a 4 day weekend to recharge.
    Increase the structure of your daycare so the kids know what to expect next so they are more relaxed.
    Be firm with the children that do not listen or misbehave. Remind them who is boss and their misbehaviour will have consequences and kids want to know what behaviours you will and will not tolerate which again addresses the comfort and relaxed issue at daycare.
    This is a tough job and unfortunately we seemed to be our harshest critic - I know I am and I constantly have to remind myself that what I do, I do well and not to feel guilty (because as woman we are also good at that!) if we are not entertaining the kids constantly because that is not what they want and it isn't good for them anyway.
    Good luck, and don't forget to breath

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
