At 12 months, I try to follow what they used to do at centers where I worked: cups only, one nap a day- treated like pp said as toddlers.
If it doesn't work out, you can always term. Maybe give a trial period and then pick the most difficult one to go?
I think that until they are on the same schedule it could be dicey. I'll have 2 months to get the first 2 on board and then will have to start again in September. Something that is def. weighing on my mind.
I suppose if they aren't able to adapt to our schedule that I could term but I think I would have to make that very clear with the parents from the get go (which I have with the parents that I have already signed). That it is group care. I do have a 4 week transition/trial period so that would give me ample time to decide.
