I am so sorry....I just replied to your email that you sent earlier this week!! I was on holidays and trying not to be on the computer much!!

Aside from what I said in my email, I also would recommend not changing your hours and being honest about just opening. We have all been in your shoes when we first opened and parents understand this. I have no children of my own which I thought might be a red flag to parents but it actually turns out that it usually gives me an upper hand as parents know I am doing this because I enjoy my job and not just to stay home with my own. (even though that is a perfectly reasonable reason to open a hdc and will be a huge benefit when/if I have my own!! lol)
