I just finished moving shelves around to help with the flow of the daycare area. This is the 2nd time I've done this since I opened 6 months ago. The first time was over Christmas break when I create a "littles" area and a "big kid" area. Is this to much change in a short period of time?
I have an L shaped dc area and when I opened it was set up like a preschool with centers then a small area (10 x 10 ft) w/sa stuff. I had 1 sa at the time so it worked well. Then I started 2 crawling babies and another sa and after a few weeks of trying to make it work I made the littles area & the big kid area (split 1/2 & 1/2).
Then I added a 16 month old and he chilled in the littles area w/the 2 babies who were beginning to walk. It worked well. THEN I started a 2.5 yo & a 4 yo and really had no "preschool area." The 4 yo & 2.5 yo are too old for the littles area and to young for the sa area (the 4 yo is okay w/most of the sa stuff but not all).
So NOW I've basically split it into 3rds with a sa area, a preschool area, and a baby area.
Back to my question-how often do you change your setup?
