I agree when I reopened my daycare I had 1 ft 1 pt and one after school for the first 6 months then the after school left at the end of June and in aug I got a full tine for the rest of the summer and then b&a and that was it till Oct I got one ft but wasn't starting till feb and then nothing till dec and I know for most people that's a slow time but I filled all the rest of my spaces and they all started in Jan... I am now totally full till sept when I will have one maybe two spaces.... So it took just over a year for me to fill up too ..... I got all of my current families from kijiji ... But I also have ads on daycare bear, used Ottawa, and ccprn. But it was frustrating for the times I was getting very little action on my ads .... But I am also lucky as the income I make is just extra for us my husband covers all the household bills
