I offer a preschool program in my family child care home and have had a mix range of children ranging from infants to 5 year olds.

There are others also. I'm sure that if you post your concerns we can help you with ideas or insight.

Without knowing any details about your program or routine I can tell you that for me the most important thing is to be open to flexibility if things come up. I also find that reminding myself about appropriate behavior for the children in each range helps me to be able to be relaxed and allow the younger ones to come and go as they please (since they have a shorter attention span) and to just move on to another activity if the children think the activity is too difficult or if they lose interest.
