Personally, I wouldn't quit. I have REALLY thought about it, and have had a few REALLY good offers for other positions....that I have turned down.
The thing is, every time I start thinking it's time to wrap things up here (it has been almost 16 years) I look at my children (DCK) and their families and KNOW how much I need to continue working with kids. I LOVE my children and families, so I will quit when I have slowly phased out the children and families who have been with me for up to a decade, and the few infants and toddlers I have now, and THEN I will be done.
BUT....for YOU OP.....I think you already know what you want to do. I feel that if you are confident that you can squeeze it financially, you are comfortable with that and your family is on board, then GO FOR IT!!! Do what is best for YOU and YOUR FAMILY.
