I'm just starting out and I could easily do a lot with it. I'd get an inexpensive outdoor play system plus the tire mulch, a couple of high chairs, another car seat & a couple of booster seats, a play kitchen, a couple more bikes/trikes/ride-on toys, bibs, a dishwasher, a couple easels, plastic drop cloths, puppets & stage, child-size cots, um - that's a start for me. My kids are grown and we got rid of all their toys when we moved years ago, I just recently decided to do daycare. My husband can make many of these items if we had the tools and materials.

I would love to know what the top items and top brand names a Day Care would love to have at their Day Care. Are their certain items, say under $2500, that are always on the wish list of Day Care owners? Are their items that the kids like the most and ask for? If a Day Care was given $2500, as a gift from a parent, what brand items and what items would would a Day Care buy?
