Welcome to the wonderful world of Home Daycare. Keep in mind that the first year can be the hardest to find kids. Don't advertise that you are new. Mention it during your interview, Only if it comes up. A lot of parents don't want to go with someone just starting up. Half of the providers who start don't make it past the first 18 months. Can scare parents away.
Advertise on Kijiji, daycarebear.ca, on facebook and on community boards. Mention to EVERYONE you meet that you are running a home daycare. Even if they don't have kids, they might know someone or come across someone who will.
Have a good contract and policies set. You can check out my site for ideas on theses:

Have business cared. hand them out to everyone. leave them in public places. This will help get your name out.
Make sure your daycare space is ready to be shown. You need it set up for parents to see during the interview.
