The low rates wouldn't effect this, just that they may possibly be filled first, if every parent prioritized rate over care which many dont. It does sound like supply and demand for your area is out of the norm and that there simply arent enough families to fill the spots. Best of luck to you!
Thanks bright sparks.
Yeah I'm just stumped as to the lack of enquiries for this age group lately, especially when I hear other providers saying they have more than they can handle. I'm hoping there aren't kid warehouses around here esp since some families I met talk about daycares with too many kids. If so I would really love to find out who they are. Most I do now is keep parents informed on what is legal in a home daycare. And that rates don't seduce them to keep hush about it!
