I think that catering to one age group would be a good thing in many ways. The set up would be ideal for that age group, activities, meals, etc etc. I know many centres and home daycares (here) won't accept children until they are 18 months. So parents need something until that age, kwim?

If you are limited by age how many children you can have, then I would revisit the notion of catering to an age and instead cater to a philosophy (ie: what you think is important in childcare, play through learning, etc etc).

Good luck!
Thanks, I appreciate the input, all of it! I guess at the end of the day I feel my care may be more concentrated and effective when dedicated to one age group. My aim is going to be to provide highly personalized attention and I believe that conceptual challenges can occur at a very young age. The infant years are marked by very fast growth and learning and I want to focus attention on presenting challenges that lay educational framework early on. This isn't to say I can't provide that to all ages, it's just a more concentrated focus in a more homogeneous group.

So many considerations on both sides!

I suppose since I will be a very small centre, I maybe can just fill a very small niche.
