Trouble finding clients

[Daisy123]

Hi! I'm also a Montessori teacher running a home based that sounds very similar to yours! As cfred said, starting up can take a while. I started with one child (a nephew of a friend) but it took a while to find more. It gets easier to find clients once your name is known. How do you do your advertising? I find that some people are very excited about an educational environment but, really, there are tons of people who don't know what Montessori is or who have heard misinformation and don't investigate further. When I find that I need to do some heavy duty advertising, I put up a few ads. Some I might headline "Montessori Preschool and Daycare" and some I might headline "Educational and Fun Home Daycare". Just because different people look for different things when shopping around. My ads then direct people to my website where I explain who I am and what I do. For me, this has been working quite well.
