Ad postings

[Play and Learn]

I always keep advertising, especially on this website - daycarebear. I do have a p/t space available, but not actively looking. I have ads usually up on Kijiji.ca and usedottawa.com.

This leaves me with an option incase someone is to pull their child out of my care. I had a waiting list in the summer for my daycare spot, but had filled them. Now, with one more child that pulled, I have that spot available.

I don't find that it wastes time for me or for the parents as I ask a lot of questions through emails/phone calls. If I feel comfortable with them, I then send them my manual to read through, and then invite them for a home interview. This way it gets all the messy details out of the way, and I know what they're looking for.
