Still no daycare children ... not even a call or email?

I'm not sure what it's like in Ottawa, however I've spoken with people who consider starting daycares and let them know it can take a few months to get your first child(ren). Also figure the first year to be the most difficult.

Also, go to playgrounds and speak with other providers maybe they know of people who are looking because they are full. I try to work with other providers in my area and help them too. I don't look at it as a competition for families, but helping families and providers get together in a way that will work best for the kids.

Hang in there and don't give up it will work out!

Thanks everyone, I'm not going to be giving up. I love children. I'll try to put up my ads on mail boxes .. that is a good idea. I'm in Blackburn Hamlet (East End Ottawa). I would love to get to know other daycare providers in my area.
