We have quite a few daycares in our area in BC and I have found from many years of experience that if you offer something extra---preschool type of learning for a few hours, theme days, French lessons, music lessons, lots of outtings to parks, it seems that the parents like this. Also, get involved with the local churches and Moms and tots groups. Hand out cards at the shopping centre or grocery store. Take your daycare children to the grocery store in the buggy and holding on to the side and let everyone notice you teaching them about fruits and vegetables. Just some ideas that have worked for me over the years. You really need to sell yourself and let the parents know why they should choos you for a caregiver.

Good Luck
