~-~Setting~-~If you guys have any suggestions for add-ons or changes, I'd love to hear them. We can add a basement and upper floors if needed. I will put staircases into the map.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Entry/Lobby - The double doors to the daycare lead to this small room where parents can sign their kids in and leave them with the workers. Nothing overly special here. A buzzer/bell will sound upon entry, paging all workers and owner to new arrivals. There are seats to sit down and wait if need be, with a few side tables containing magazines and some vases of artificial flowers, as well as an office desk with a computer and sign in/out logbook. There is a shoe rack for outdoor shoes and an umbrella rack for umbrellas. A series of coloured footprint stickers lead from the front door out into the hallway and to the double doors entering into the daycare proper. The walls of the lobby are a pale cream and the floor a light grey and white checkerboard pattern. There is a door on the left of the room near the hallway which has a sign saying 'OFFICE' on it.

It also has a large window with a nice view of some parkland and trees across the road. The room has a dark aqua coloured plush-feeling carpet and matching walls.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Storage for office - the things kept in here are only known to the manager/owner and they are the only one with the key to access it from the door in their office. Inside, the floor is linoleum with a wood pattern so it looks like floorboards and the walls are a dark grey.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Staff/visitors bathroom - A good sized bathroom equipped with a shower so staff can get clean and change clothes if they need to. There are plenty of folded clean towels in the cupboard.

There is also a toilet in here, along with a sink, mirror, trash can and other standard bathroom things.

These rooms contain a combined shower and large tub, sink, cabinets, cupboards, towel racks, laundry hampers, and other bathroom things. There are toilets but they have magic locks on them that are also child proof to prevent little ones playing in the toilet bowl or flushing things down them. Every child here is diapered so the toilets are just there for show. There is a changing table in each bathroom, fully stocked with new clothing, diapers and changing supplies.

Artwork and other things made by the children are put all throughout the room and on strings across the ceiling for everyone to see.
