I am just starting up and signed up my first family (who's awesome btw, wish I could clone them!) who starts beginning of January.

I am looking to take in 1-2 kids more only. I am a low ratio provider and advertise as such. All that being said, I am not getting any interest for NOW any and all interest has been for the New Year and even that has halted.

My rate is $38 day and that is what my January fam signed up for. At what point, do you consider dropping down to $35 in hopes to attract more families (if that would even make a diff!)?

Some providers here charge as low as $30, which is WAY lower than what they SHOULD be asking for our area (it's building and booming).

So.... thoughts on dropping fee? or do I remain hopeful and patient in hopes I snag one more family at my current rate? I am also wondering, if I did drop my rate, do I inform my current family that has signed on?

Thanks
