Happy Monday all! :hug:
I have been receiving e-mails/calls a lot lately, especially with school starting back up. The majority of the inquierers need infant care. In my state (NJ) I am allowed 3 infants under the age of 1 in addition to 1 child under the age of 2.
I'm really considering focusing my daycare on infant care. I have worked with infants for many years and find that I'm quite good with the younger children. Don't get me wrong, I love preschool age children, but if I had a choice, infants would be my pick.
Would I be crazy to revamp my daycare and only take infants/younger toddlers? Even if I got a good group of infants in here and let them grow up in my daycare and age out at 4, I would be thrilled.
Our city offers free preschool at age 4, so it's very difficult to get the preschool age children in here. The ones that I have had are only part-time at best.
Opinions?
If I do decide to do this, what are some things to consider? I'm sure I'm overlooking a lot, but this has been on my mind for a while.
