I have my prices listed in the ads right from the start, so families are usually aware of what I am charging before they contact me. I haven't had a problem filling the spots yet though it does take people longer to respond because not everyone can afford it. This would actually be my absolute last spot and I had 3 people interested in it. The part time family is a mom who works shift work though so she wants all different days each week which I'm not too crazy about, but they are willing to pay the price. I did notice that it takes more viewers to go through the ads, but there is always someone wanting and willing to pay for the best for their child.
And the $2400 wouldn't be all for me with the lady that I liked. She has two kids so she would be paying $1200 for one at another daycare, for about a year cause he is 4. Then he would be off to kindergarden I would think. She is looking for long term as she had mentioned that she would like to keep her child attending until they outgrew the dayhome like her older son. (His dayhome lady is the one opening up the new daycare that he would be going to but she is not taking anyone under 2 yrs old and our prices are the same so she would probably keep him here with us to prevent the hassle and stress on her child of going to a new place)
