Right now I have a group of school agers, and don't provide any kind of care for younger children other than the occasional drop in. After the end of this school year, I'll have three aging out and one leaving for other reasons. I have two after schoolers secured already for the fall. HOWEVER, I was just contacted by a couple who are teachers in my area and who are looking for all day care 3 days per week for their child who will be 4 months old at that time.

I'm thinking that a teacher's child may be a good addition, as they'd follow the same schedule that I use with my older kids. I'd also be able to keep my afternoon group MUCH smaller, which would be better for everyone in the long run.

I'm not even sure what I'm looking for here, other than insight as to whether or not you all think that this would be a good idea, if you have ideas as to factors to consider, etc. Is this a good idea or am I getting in over my head? I'd appreciate any thoughts!
