Yep dry spell. In October I had 2 spaces open- filled one quick with old daycare family. I have finally filled spot with family but they don't start until February. They did agree to start paying beginning of January to hold the spot. I have another family leaving mid March. I have an interview set up for tonight (did have 2 but 1 already cancelled). There seems to be so many with open spots in my area. I have had a few meetings but my location is not ideal for some which is why they found other care. This is the longest I have had a spot open for in the 5 years I have been running daycare.
