We did a theater recently with four rows of theater chairs, seven per row. The electricians asked how we wanted them connected to breakers. Each chair draws one amp. This is in 230V-land, so breaker values are 10 and 16 amps.

There's a five year old boy in the house. I thought about it and told them one breaker per row. While it's unlikely that more than two or three people will ever be adjusting chairs at a time, the day will come when that kid will have ten friends over and they will play silly symphony, moving all the chairs up and down, over and over, at the same time.  The electricians put each row on its own 10A breaker.

In your case, it's a daycare.  This is probably for parents and their use will probably be for live viewing.  You will be roundly cursed and hated, and maybe sued after, the day when something horrible happens within a couple of blocks of the neighborhood and fifty to a hundred parents want to look at live cameras.  Even if you tell everyone that only three people can log on at the same time, you will be blamed and hated.  Be real careful here.  This is dangerously close to life and safety issues.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
