Market your space to older kids. Have a homework space maybe, toys geared to older kids, etc. Find out what the schools are charging for B/A school care (which here is pretty high!) and undercut them by a dollar or 2 if you can afford to. I'd choose a smaller home environment for my kids over the school's program any day. I've had a ton of enquiries for older kids, and with Bill 10 coming in (are you in Ontario?) I expect a ton more, because no one can afford to keep them.
