I totally understand! When I first started, I had the daycare in the main living room upstairs and the family room in the basement. It worked great for a while, but eventually I got sick of the daycare being the first thing that our company sees when they walk in the front door. We also wanted to have our main floor family room back. It was also easier to keep the daycare stuff contained to one place.
I think it might have been different if my own kids were younger and needed their own playspace upstairs, but my oldest is grown and out of the house and my youngest is 12.

We find it works better this way.
