I also think that having a website is also very helpful. Quite often, a parents first point of reference, including yourself in this instance, is via the internet. First thing many people will do is google their town plus daycare. Make sure you get a free website set up, wix, weebly and webs offer them, and name your daycare with the first letter being at the beginning of the alphabet so alphabetised results bring you up on the first page. Also add your business to google places so once again when people google daycare in their area, you come up in the first few results.

Advertise now, list in your advertising that you have spots open for January. I have many enquiries currently for Spring next year, I'd get on with the advertising ASAP.
