    Toronto Daycare :(

    Hi everyone,
    Happy almost thanksgiving

    I'm posting because I am having a very hard time filling my spaces. I just opened my home daycare in Jult and only have one spot filled. I honestly thought it would be so easy considering I am in a big city.

    I opened up a home daycare 3 years ago and mainly used word of mouth and kijiji. I operated in a small town in Alberta but it was so different.

    How do you ladies advertie in a big city, Word of mouth can't work yet, kijiji being in Toronto my ad ends up on the 10th page in 5 minutes!!

    Is it normal for things to be slowing down this time a year ? Any advice with be so helpful

    I've found it pretty slow in my area as well. It's over-saturated with home daycares. You could try good-old fashioned community mailbox posting. I've found local clients a few times that way. Hint: put the ad up on a Friday afternoon because the Canada post carrier often removes them.

    I'm in a small town, but I filled all my spaces through a local facebook groups. I post n one for families, the community info group, and one just for dayhomes/daytime sitters.

    Things can slow down in Oct and people looking may want a spot for Jan
    Just hang in there and fill it one spot at a time
