I went into fcc knowing I was going to homeschool my daughter, so started with infants and toddlers and have been slowly increasing the age range. As of this year, I only accepted new 3-yr-olds and up, with an exception for a 2-yr-old sibling.

I have spaces now, and am finding it very difficult to fill them; I get lots of calls for 15 mo.-2 years, but rarely from families with older children. They're usually all set by then. Not sure yet what I'm going to do about it. I've kind of been holding out, hoping for more homeschoolers (I have my 7-yr-old and a 6-yr-old who comes 2 days/week), but they all want 1 day/week, which I don't want to do. I'm too picky at this point! I may give up and accept more 2s. I love that age; just didn't want such a huge age range--I wanted more of a peer group for my daughter.
