I can have 3 under 2, one of which must be walking. I will be opening in 2 weeks and have 2 infants already signed up. I thought I had wanted to care for ages 8 weeks-5yrs until I had a little preview of what caring for an infant was like for a few weeks at the beginning of summer. I decided after 2 days that I didn't want to take infants. Just the thought of trying to run a preschool program plus the demands of an infant (at least 2 hours/day one-on-one care for each infant) just turned me off on wanting to care for infants.

Buuuuut that being said... I had already agreed to take these 2 way back in April. I figured the least I could do was try it and see how everything works once I'm open. I've already changed the ages I accept on all my paperwork. They'll be 6 months old when they start so hopefully it won't be too bad. (fingers crossed!!) Maybe in the future if I expand my daycare and need to hire an assistant I may offer infant care again.
