I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, but let me see if I can help. Are you trying to decide where to have the childcare play room? or nap room? I'm not sure if you are looking into being licensed, but usually you need a separate area for naps, play and lunch/snack. Where ever you set it up you'll probably need some gates depending on the age of the children. As far as furniture you may want to look for small tables that can be used for crafts and snacks. If you are caring for any babies you may want a high chair or two and a porta crib and or a play yard. Personally I would want the child care area on the main level of my home for convenience purposes.
