Agreed Skysue- economy probably plys a part too. Tons of advertising daycares here too. I'm curious as to how many are new start ups and how many are established centres having a hard time filling spots. This time last year I was turning away clients but now.... I expect that it's for a combination of reasons but the end result's the same. I guess that we just have to keep positive- the spaces will fill eventually but even those part timers are looking good right now!
