-You could try and us semi-bright colors for the walls and floors.
-For patterns, I suggest going to Create-a-Style. Go to the list of pattern types: Go to "Themes," that has a lot of kiddy type patterns (cowboys, duckies, etc.)
-Try to avoid traditional type objects, lean toward modern.


Good luck, this seems like a fun house to make!

I would also like my house look like a daycare. Meaning I would want it to look almost like a daycare in real life. Any help there?

Basically daycares have toys, cribs, mats, highchairs and all sorts of things strewn all over the place.  It has been forever since I have been in one, but that is what I remember, just lots of bright colors and toys.
Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny?

Ah that's what I'm looking for... Though I'm having problems putting it down on paper. -.-

I'm trying the hardest that I can but I just can't get the shape of the house right.

I'm having problems trying to build the building. I can't seem to build it right for some reason.

I'm having problems trying to build the building. I can't seem to build it right for some reason.

I'd start with a foyer, like a place to "check-in/out" the kids.
Then a nursery for the babies and toddlers to sleep/ be fed/ cared for.
Also, add a toddler play-room for their toys: doll house, play tables, xylophones, stuffed animals or anything else to keep them entertained
(I'd also include a sterio for the extra "enjoying music" moodlet)
Make sure to make a play ground outside for children: swings, slide and jungle-gym. (also include a trampoline if you have ambitions)
Make a cafeteria if you want, though it is not nessecary, make it a room of it's own but replace one wall with a bar to eat at.
Don't forget bathrooms! Use the "private" stalls so many people can "go" at one time.

Hopefully this more helpful than before! Good luck! ;D


EDIT: For the cafeteria I meant not an open area like 3 full walls, and the 4th side could be a bar... If that makes more sense.

Put your rooms where you want them and what size, then build from around that.

Do a search for floor plans for a daycare.  There are many free ones out there.  You could also search for Sims daycares because there have been some building challenges around where they had to design a daycare.  I am sure the exchange has some and although I don't think I'd risk downloading them, it would give you some ideas.
