Taking into account that you are setting up a child daycare center then there are certain factors to be kept in mind as listed below.

- You have to invest in cots that are comfortable and safe
- The center must represent a nursery with lots of color and toys    around
- The floors should be carpeted to ensure the child's safety
- You need to invest in inflatable paddle pools
- It is preferable to have a garden in the compound of your daycare  center that should have musical nursery rhymes & outdoor play equipment
- You could put up cutouts of animals, birds, alphabets, numbers,    which adds life to dull surroundings
- All furniture such as sofas and chairs should be of a low level
- You need to purchase food table-and-chair that are especially    designed for toddlers
- As far as the space factor is concerned, something open ad less    cluttered is preferred

For an adult daycare center you should preferably keep the following in mind:

- The daycare center should not represent a hospital
- A backyard garden does wonders for those admitted to your   center
- Instead of creating a dormitory-type setting, it is preferable to   have rooms on twin sharing basis so that those in your care get   some rest when they need to and feel as if they at home
- You should incorporate a reading section with some baby pictures
- Adults enjoy playing cards and other indoor games for which a    separate room should be maintained
- The furniture should be like it is at home, because remember they    are visiting their second home during the day
- The walls should be of sober and light shades, especially the    pastels

If you are planning to employ a day care taker at home, you must keep in mind that the environment should be pleasant not just for the person being taken care of but also the day care taker too.
