    OMGOSH welcome back.....thank you for sharing, I also live in an apartment. I live on the 3rd floor and I was really skeptical about starting my Daycare because I don’t live in a house but its been great. I’m a new provider (3 months in) so I’m still learning the ends & outs of the Daycare business. So looking forward to your new content. I’ve learned a lot just binge watching your old videos. Thanks again for sharing.

      @@totstothetop I haven't had any complaints from my neighbors but I hear more noise from my neighbors below me they are really loud. I can hear the kids running its like they are running on my ceiling. I have a mixed age group my youngest is 9 months and my oldest is 8 yrs old. My 8 yr old I only have for after school care. I have a group size of 6. I would love a bigger space, after I got my first Daycare baby things started moving fast and the I started filling the spots really fast. I thought it would be a slow start but I filled my spots quickly.

      Hearing that you filled your spots quickly makes me so happy. What have you done to sound proof ? This is my only concern . I haven't had any complaints so far, but I am always looking for new ways to help with sound and noise .

      @@totstothetop I actually spoke with my neighbors and let them know that between such & such hours I run an In Home Daycare and they may hear a few bumps from the little ones running around and told them that I will try not to let the noise get out of hand. My neighbors have small kids so they were very understanding but thanked me for coming downstairs & next door to let them know. I ensured them that after 6:00pm they shouldn’t hear the amount of noise they hear during the day. What really helped us that most days my neighbors are working during the day. Me speaking to my neighbors I felt made things much easier.

    How was it telling all your parents? Did you lose some children due to the move? Do you charge less now? We live in the back house at my mils but want to move at some point , we do wonder if parents will pull their child . We do live in a great area and have a large yard but we are out growing our home so moving is a must. We live in California so homes are really expensive and considered a town home however most don't have a yard and feel like we are able to charge what we do because of what we are able to offer here :( I want to say I love your positivity and how you have made your daycare work out even in a smaller space. Good for you.💛
