Those are great ideas. I might even use some of them. I've been in business for 6 years now and it probably took a good 3 years to get established. I am full with the exception of Thursdays. I started out doing drop-offs & pick-ups from the preschool which was located at the local school.My parents of these children had said positive things about me to the operator and she had told me that she couldn't recommend me but that she would pass along my business cards to interested parents. She also ran the Strong Start at the same location. I would take the children there on my slow days and she would recommend me to the parents. I stopped doing drop-offs & pick-ups from the school as I got busier. I don't go to Strong Start anymore either as I wouldn't take more than a couple of kids there at a time.
