Oh crap crafty! If it helps, these things can happen to anybody. I had a little boy here for over a year and a relative decided to open a daycare and wanted him for her first client. So I just lost him in June.

Don't be afraid to ask family and friends to spread the word about your daycare. Do you have a website? Do you advertise with large companies and at Mom & baby groups? Get your name out there everywhere you can possibly think of and interview like a mad woman until you find the right families. You will find them.
