I would check your state's regulations to see how much space you need at a minimum. In MI, we need 35sq ft per child (which on paper sounds good, but in reality, that's not a lot of room!! LOL). I'd also see about incorporating an "entry" area where coats, boots/shoes, backpacks, etc can stay. Also, my regs say you have to have a changing area near a source of water to wash hands, so you might want to think about that when creating your half bath. Another tip (trying to think of what I would want if I could create my own dc space!) is to create a kitchen area (even if it's just a hot plate and microwave and sink). As long as you are creating this, it would be helpful to have separate sleeping rooms. I don't mean each child has their own, just something separate from play areas (for the younger ones who take morning naps, so they can sleep while olders are playing). That's all I can think of for now. Good luck on your adventure!
