There might be some wiggle room depending on services offered, but it might be a little tough.
As an example, a room for infants (1 year olds) need to have a ratio of 1 caregiver for 4 kids, so right there you need 2 people for a full day. At min wage it's $60 per child, not including food, supplies, space rental, extra time, and probably a whack of other things. The costs that I have seen are already pretty close to this number (if I make assumptions about pay and costs).
