McFerran was only supposed to have two children in her care at one time, but actually had a total of seven.
Court heard that before calling 911 she hid the car seat in the garage and tried to wake Arto. She told police he was in a playpen and choked on a blanket.
It was Arto’s first day at the daycare.
The defence is asking for six to 12 months in jail.
