I have a dedicated playroom for the kids in the basement (Ewww, that sounds so moldy!) They also use our living room early morning and late afternoon while we wait for drop off and pick up. My son will be moving out in a few years, so his room (Which is right next to the daycare room) will become part of our area. There's a slider in that room that goes right out to the yard. So sad to think about him leaving, but excited about the expansion.
