It's not like I am having an abundance of enquiries or interviews and then people decide to go with someone else, it's that there all of a sudden seems to either be to many providers in my town now, which I find hard to believe, or simply to many parents who shop for daycare based on daily rate primarily, cutting their list of potentials down even before meeting them.

I run a home daycare, not a centre so my daycare has a home feel to it for sure, but my daycare has a dedicated playroom. Yes, the children spend time in other areas such as my living space and eating area for crafts, meals and snacks, sleeping in family bedrooms, but their main play space is solely for them and is geared totally toward safe play and education. I have always had great comments and feedback regarding my website, which honestly has always surprised me as it is very basic and not glamorous at all. I think it's probably my tone in which I write that makes people feel comfortable. Once my revamp has finished, then I plan to refresh and update my website to include pictures of my space and have even considered including a weekly blog on the site, seeing as I am on here enough as it is lol, and maybe just showcasing a couple of pictures of activities, crafts, and meals along with a blurb. Just so when parents are looking through my website they get a little bit of a deeper look into the day to day of my daycare. Maybe that will give me an edge and draw more people in. Kind of like some of you have said about highlighting my strengths. Some people won't care for it, but I think overall it will be a refreshing change from only talking business to showing what my daycare is actually all about....the children.
