Potty trained, self help skills are nearly perfected, can follow directions and has (for the most part) learned how to be kind to one another.

Preschool age for me, so 2 1/2 -5 (though 2 1/2 is the younger end of "okay" for me) I like being able to have conversations with the kids and planning curriculum based on their likes/interests. Younger than 2, I feel like I'm just trying to get through the day the best I can

Easiest for me would deff be if everyone was 3-4. I’ve found I don’t like 5 year olds in general, they’re too big for their britches at 5. They think they can be in control but still need more help then they are willing to admit to. Maybe it’s the school thing. I don’t take schoolagers unless it’s on a drop in, very occasional basis.
That being said though while I think having all 3-4s would be easiest, it’s not something I’d seek out to enroll for daycare at this point in my life. I love having a baby to love on even if it does make the day a bit more difficult having someone a bit needier.

The younger the better. The earlier they come to me the easier the older ages are.
Most of all I love the two naps a day and I love how they smell so yummy.

I'm thinking it doesn't matter what the age as long as they're all in the same age range. You can keep them busy doing what's appropriate for their age group. It's so difficult providing care for mixed ages.
I picture having all babies because I LOVE babies but then is the grass really greener? I think I'm highly allergic to 4 and up these days. Somebody said 'too big for their britches'....oh yeh.
I think I'm with BC on this one.....15-24 months. Although maybe I'd lower that to 9-24 mo.
