So your own child, if under age 5 would not be able to be present during business hours once they reach 30 months or 2.5 yrs old. So from 2.5 yrs until age 5 (school aged) you would not be able to have your child present in care.
I know several ladies that have a specialized infant/toddler license in the TC area and they do VERY well and are always full with wait lists.
I wouldnt do a specialized license. I would still do a C1 , but have 1 under 12months, 2 between 12-24months, and the rest 24 months to 4 yrs. And then just have it in my policy that they will age out at 4yrs old. In a perfect world, i would only care for 1 yr olds, its my favorite age!
