I've had my childcare home for almost 3 years now. 12 kids ages 2-5. I'm considering transitioning into more of an infant/toddler program but split the day into AM and PM slots. There are a lot of preschools and daycares in my area, but not many infant/toddler development-type programs. I want to be somewhat like a Gymboree but a drop off instead of Mommy and Me classes. The only problem is majority of parents work and are looking for all-day care. But I also know there is a need for infant and toddler classes. Has anyone ever done something like this, either switch from all day to 2 sessions or create a more formal child development program in their home? Any advice is appreciated. I have a teaching credential and I used to be a speech language therapy assistant as well.

I don't think it would work well. Now a full day infant program is usually in high demand.

You would probably need to be located in an upper-income metro area to make this work.
My market would not support it.
I am not sure how any market could with an average ratio of one adult to three infants.- Unless otherwise stated, all my posts are personal opinion and worth what you paid for them.
