I am opening my dayhome in September. I started advertising a few weeks ago. Had 2 interviews so far, both seem to be really great families. One has "picked" me but won't be starting until January. The other one I haven't heard back from so I assume she's chosen another dayhome. Although I haven't been advertising agressively (because we're going away for the last 2 weeks of August) I'm getting a little worried that I have NO spots filled for September. There also seems to be a ton of other new dayhomes opening up in my town. How long does it typically take to fill all your spots? And what have you found to be the most successful place/way to advertise?
Thanks!
