Just out of curiosity, how do other people do it then? How do I bring one child upstairs while I have 5 kids downstairs in the daycare? Or even worse, during drop off time in the a.m which is when this would probably happen. The daycare parents arrive at a separate entrance in my daycare. I never leave the daycare space for this reason (never thought this was a viable option without leaving kids unattended).

I have a small kids table they sit at (only use one highchair for the littlest) and I don't keep the play pens set up. I'm not trying to be difficult, I just haven't figured out logistically how this could work.

At the top of my daycare stairs is my kitchen. I have tried putting a kid down there before in a PNP but this wasn't very successful as it is bright, a different environment and probably not conducive to sleep.
