It‘s been painfully slow. I just bought a new house and have been panicking a little bit as I‘m on my own here and daycare is the only source of income. I don‘t know if this makes you feel any better, but I‘ve been getting lots of emails and calls and signed 2 kids in the past month. 1 part time, 1 full time. PHEW! 2 spaces left, but I feel very encouraged with all the responses. I‘ve found it very, very helpful to have a proper and professional website. Fortunately, my brother in law was a web designer. If you can swing it, I would strongly suggest getting one up and running. The responses are now starting to come from Google searches, not just here. Also, ask former and current clients to leave you a testimonial here. Everyone I‘ve interviewed has commented that I‘m the only one in the area with testimonials. Make sure you copy and paste them to another file as well though....you‘ll lose them after removing your ads. I also put my daycare on the main floor this time...again, very positive response.
I hope this helps you a bit. I know it‘s really scary....I‘ve been stressed as heck about it. Hang in there and really up your exposure in the public, internet especially! It‘ll get better

Oh....one last thing....McGuinty can suck it. Hate that guy.....
