So quiet you can hear the crickets chirping

Please tell me that it's normal in the summer to have such a lax in daycare inquiries and registrations. I've never had a turnover in the spring/summer so never really experienced trying to fill spots over the summer. This summer I've seen drops in numbers with the other providers in my area as well.

Is summer usually slow or is it my area?? Please tell me it will pick up in September/Autumn?

I usually lose a couple of kids at least in the summer. I tend to get more enquiries in the summer which I've had but mostly just looky loos, so far. I feel like you but my hubby reminds me that I always fill up by the end of summer. Good luck other mummy I'm sure you'll fill up as well.
