That is a great idea Playfelt. That could work. When I worked for an agency I was allowed to have private clients and kids from other agencies. They preferred to take on providers that have the under 2 spots available since these spots are high demand with agencies, but we could find the 6th kid through our usual marketing tools and then presented them to the agencies to be enrolled through them. We can even include in our marketing that we are licensed since many providers that are currently affiliated to agencies do that since most parents don't know that the agency is the one with a license.
