Which age group do you think is easy to look after?

I like all potty-trained kids best but not yet school-aged. So, three to five year olds would be my fave age.

So interested in the conversation, and so relieved to see the feedback! We have recently launched a toddler program at our previously-preschooler's daycare centre. The staff were all prepped, and we thought it through, of course, but we were all wondering what the heck we were getting ourselves into!
The first toddlers have started arriving this week and it has been lovely! They've been sweet, with big eyes, and lots of exploration. It has actually been a thrill to feel the younger ones pull at my heart in ways that the 3 - 5 year olds just don't need to do.
It's a tough choice for me, to say whether I prefer the preschoolers and their creative engagement with the environment and materials, or the toddlers, and their big smiles and sincere attention to what they're doing, but it sounds like everyone here is in the toddler camp, which is reassuring, and makes me look forward to seeing more of them coming through!
Thanks!
