Basement vs. Main Floor

[mickyc]

Basement only daycare here. I wouldn't have it any other way. My family space is my space and I don't have to worry about kids getting into things they shouldn't, completely kid proofing and my daughter doesn't have to share her toys or her room. That was the one thing we decided was a must when I wanted to start my home daycare. It isn't my daughter's choice that I work from home so I felt it so important that she have a space away from daycare if she needs. This also applying to my husband as well although he is only home one day a week when I am working. I do everything in my basement - napping, cooking etc. nothing is upstairs other than they come in the back entrance and head directly downstairs. It is also nice for me because I feel like I am actually "going to work" and feel like I am relaxing away from the daycare space in the evenings. Our home is currently for sale and if we sell and move the first thing I want my husband to install into our new house is a kitchenette so that daycare can continue to be 100% in the basement.
