Hello,
This sounds like a great idea, I wish someone in my area would offer this opportunity for moms who need just a few hours a day for either work or alone time. Most in-home day cares in my area only take children on a full time basis. Being a part-time professor I need someone who is flexible and part-time. As for the ages you may have to take children a little younger, most children at the ages of 3 and 4 are enrolled in pre-school, depending on the area in which you live, you may want to advertise it as an alternative to a pre-school.

Good luck it sounds like a great idea!
