Thank you all for the encouragement I did read in other posts similar to this one that it would be best not to mention in an ad or on a website that the provider is new. I made sure that I did not mention or hint that I am a new provider. I did have a mom call for a spot in September or October for her baby and wanted to know if I had a spot for that time frame or if she could put her daughter on a waitlist. I was torn because I didn't want to commit to her and have her decide she didn't need care at the last minute and miss out on families that may have wanted to start in August but at the same time maybe I should contact her and tell her I will have a spot and set up an interview (and if she wants the spot then ask for a deposit). For the record I did tell her I would put her on my "waitlist" and contact her if I did have a spot available in September. Hopefully that was the right decision lol.

I have actually had a couple other providers contact me and praise my website. They said it looks like I'm set up as a licensed daycare and not a license not required daycare. They said parents will be impressed. I really appreciated the feedback. I just thought I'd be getting some calls by now, especially with all the traffic on my website but it is good to know that summer is typically slow for calls so I can plan for that. I'm kind of glad I only have 2 spots to fill...

Thank you again for your advice.. I'm sure you will see me around more often asking for help or suggestions
