You did? I saw no spelling or grammar errors, and I am kind of rabid about them.
I looked at it too and didn't see any errors (except one "10 years experience" that should be "10 years of experience"...but this would probably not even register as an error for most parents looking for care). I am wondering, since you are right on Innes, do you have a backyard or fenced outdoor playspace? I didn't see any pictures taken outside, so was wondering if that might be a concern for some parents especially since you are on a busy road? It's good that you only advertised 2 spaces, so it is definitely not obvious that you are new...so I don't think that is why they aren't contacting you. Your website looks nice
I don't think it is shared privately ... ? I might not be part of all the daycare facebook groups. A yard is my biggest downfall :-( I don't have a yard. I didn't think it would be a big deal because I get out a lot! We don't have to take the busy road to get to a really nice park. I was told to go to the park and take some pictures of where I take the kids to play. I'm doing that later today as it is a really good idea. This is what I want to do so I'm not going to stop. It is just going to take the right parents to come along and like what I do have to offer.
That's a good idea...taking pictures at the park. If the parents like you enough and what you offer, they will be willing to let go of the fenced yard idea as long as they know you get out every day. It just might make it a bit harder. Again though, if nobody has even contacted you, they don't necessarily know that you don't have a yard (unless it's just because of the road you live on). By the way, I just looked you up on Daycare Bear based on where you said you lived...that's how I saw your website Good luck!
I thought I should mention I'm not completely new to this. I have had one daycare child but the family moved . I also babysat a lot but it was always different children and all hours of the day/night. I also volunteered at a daycare for almost one year.
If you visited or if you're using a childcare provider found on DaycareBear, do not hesitate to leave a review. This will most certainly help other parents!
