Streamline and put almost all of the toys away for awhile just keeping out a few. Rotate weekly or biweekly until they get a bit older and let them use their imagination more. This time of year we are outside more than in, they play better and naps are better and longer.

Also if you have clear containers and they are labeled cleanup is so much easier. I have my toys in clear containers with a photo and a word on each container. There is also a photo and label on each shelf. The clear containers also have a lid that most children can't get off with out asking so they have to clean up one before I'll open the next.

Head Start is laid out this way and based on HighScope which you can research online. I have been doing daycare a looonnnngggg time and went with the HighScope lay out about 5 years ago, amazing how cleanup time has improved.
