There are 3 including myself in our subdivision, then one down the road, and another one that I'm aware of in the next subdivision 2 minutes over.

You have to sell yourself as a business. You're an ECE - are you Registered? Make yourself a website, get business cards to hand out at local businesses.

It takes time for people to see that the new daycares are just as good as the old ones are. I had one child when I began a year ago, and now have 3 starting in August/September. I've also had 3 families come and go within the past 6 months. As you are an ECE, tell the parents of your experience.

If you have any questions/concerns, feel free to PM me.
