Thoughts on Daycare setup

[bright sparks]

In addition to mimi's suggestions you could alter your morning routine so until every child has arrived you have an activity going on on the main floor. For example, have a small kids ikea table and change up the activity. Playdough, puzzles, building blocks, sensory toys. Anything the kids can play with mostly independently so they can be left for a few minutes while you answer the door without fear of crayons on the wall etc. When you interview you can have it set up for the following morning so parents see the setup and you can explain your daily routine and then lead them downstairs to your playroom. I don't personally think that because you have zero signs of daycare on the main floor that this would put anyone off from bringing their children to you.
