Building my Business?

I run a home daycare and originally it was just to earn a bit on money so that I could stay at home with my little ones. Now that I’ve done it for a year I’ve looked into getting my Early Childhood Educator Degree and once that is completed, licensed.

I decided to move the main daycare area from my living room into my unfinished basement (once it’s finished of course). What are some ideas I can use when finishing the space that would make it a better daycare environment? And do you have any space saving ideas? Duel purpose creative space saving ideas?

So far I plan to have:
A mini kitchen like area with a mini fridge, microwave and sink
A half bath equip with potty’s and stools
bg we actually bought a bunch of those for the floor down there for when my niece and nephews came over for Christmas so they’d have a place to play and go nuts like kids do without disrupting the adults.

Good Tip.

Hey this isn’t really an answer to your question as such just a wee bit of friendly advice you mention your moving your business to your basement. I don’t know what your basement is like its probably very nice, its just that basements are common place for damp ofcourse not always but just for your own peace of mind you should have it checked for damp its very cheap you can actually purchase a small device and do it your self it a very basic device simple to use. The damp in structures actually travels through the air and reeks havoc with our lungs especially children and nobody wants to end up in that situation. I don’t mean to freak you out but its worth checking out if your planning a move down there. Anyway good luck and i hope your business is a roaring success.

for the floor you could always use the big bright colored puzzle peices that connect together, they are padded. i think walmart sells them and i know sams does. hope that helped!

A Word About Choosing Bar Stools

Finding and choosing the right kind of Bar Stools or counter stools for your bar, home or your kitchen is an important part choice, as many different sizes, materials, finishes and colors.
First of all, decide if you are choosing Counter Stools or Bar Stools, as they are somewhat different. Bar stools are usually a little taller, by around 4 inches. A good measurement to consider is to make sure that the stool's cushion or seat is about 10 to 12 inches from the underside of the bar or counter. That way, you know that you and your guests will be seated comfortably and have suitable leg room while seated.
Sometimes you may want to go with backless stools, if you don't have a lot of space or room. They have no backs or arms and so they are easier to move around.
Another important consideration is choosing the right height of the foot rests of your bar stools. If you don't get the right foot rest heights ahead of time, you may not be getting the right stools and people will not be very comfortable or have proper leg room while sitting at your home bar.
Of course, seating comfortably will be different for everyone, but if you sit and see the foot rest height is good for you, it will probably do for most. Unless you are getting custom bar stools made for you, you have to get them with the foot rests as they are.
Take your measurements with you when you go shopping and know the heights of the counter or bar surface and underside and ask for help from the salesperson if you are not sure of what sizes to get.
If you purchase adjustable barstools, where you can raise or lower the height of the stool itself, then it's easier to allow the user to adjust to find the right height for the most comfort while sitting. This is ideal if you want to use the stools for different places in your home, from the kitchen counter to the home bar or a kitchen island, for example. Most brands and makers of kitchen and bar stools that are adjustable allow about 10 to 15 inches, which can accommodate almost anyone.
