I keep all emails and when a space suddenly comes up I will send an email to them letting them know. Some reply thanks but we have found care and others never respond. What is also nice doing that is sometimes you get an email for care for 14 month old and the name just stands out even. Since all emails are saved I can go back and see if that family contacted me before and any correspondance I had with them so I have background info before replying. I have found this happens with kids 18m to 2 1/2 where they went with the cheap lady who did nothing - hence the cheap rates which was fine while the child was a baby/toddler but now they are wanting something more and that gets them to thinking about those they interviewed that offered that and they start looking again. I have interviewed a family twice and taken them the second time once the parents had a change of heart and realized they wanted what I was offering and were willing to pay for it.

Great that you are full. It is such a weight off and you can go back to enjoying the whole concept of having a daycare.
