    I have found a majority of my families on kijiji and really haven't had a problem .... Just ask lots of questions before booking an interview to weed out the ones that are just wasting your time

    Have you tried godaycare.com? I've had a few snags from that site as well.

    Personally, I'm not keen on Craig's List and Kijiji for advertising my daycare. Of course, if it works, it works and this isn't meant to disparage anyone else's success from those sites. I'm just not comfortable with them. I prefer sites dedicated to the business.

    My biggest asset for advertising has been a personal website. Even if people find me here first, they very often check out my website as well. I've had a number of interviewees state that they only contact providers with their own website. I guess it lends itself to looking more established and professional. That has, hands down, been my biggest draw for clients. I moved into a new area 11 mos ago and am full now, so I'm happy with the results.

    I've never had much success with flyers. I used to put them up in grocery stores and on public bulletin boards. They'd always be taken down, covered by another provider's flyer or had all the numbers taken off. I used to drive 'round and put them in mail boxes as well. It was a lot of work and expense with little payoff.

    Good luck!
