Answer
Well, the good thing about infant/toddler daycare rooms is that there doesn't need to be a lot of fuss. Unless you want an unholy mess and 25 kids covered in finger paint, I wouldn't recommend an arts station. Usually, an area with toys is good, an area with tables to eat lunch is good, and a cubby area to hold toys from home, coats, etc. Some places like to break up play areas by the age groups; the daycare I worked at separated the 1 year olds from the 2-3 year olds for lunch and naptime. As long as you have a lot of toys and a playground outside, the kids will pretty much entertain themselves between mealtimes and naptime. :)
