Tip #42: Home daycare age separations

When we started to consider home daycare, I contacted a friend's mom who has run one for a long time. The best piece of advice I got from her was to consider the age ranges in the daycare. Since we would be looking for an infant spot, she recommended infants and 2yrs+ toddlers was a great mix, but not to go somewhere with a lot of kids in between. Kids around 12-18months who are still learning to walk and have no perception of babies underfoot are a bad mix with infants. Since seeing kids this age I highly agree! We found a place with a very good split in ages and a method for separating the older kids so that the crawlers can have a safe space all to themselves.
