Type your postal code in the home page of this site and you will see all the daycares with spots in your area ..... Look at their rates and how many spaces are available .... This will tell you if you rates are competitive and if they all have several spots open then it could just be a slow time .... Also look at their operating hours ... I open 15 mins earlier then anyone in my area and I have a waiting list .... The other ladies are right you have to find your niche .... Even if its just opening 15 mins earlier. ; )
