Losing hope! 😔

Hi suzie_homemaker, I'm not sure what it is, I was doing so well and this summer has being bad,

Summer is usually a very slow season for private day cares. We're competing with out-of-school students!

You're Chinese.....dependin g on your location, have you thought about targeting specifically Chinese clients? Not that I'm suggesting you don't accept non-Chinese, but that you should focus more with the purpose of attracting Chinese clientele, like placing ads in Chinese community?

You only need 5 full-time children (that's a way to look at it). I had never achieved having all full-time spaces filled (also just accepting full time now). It took a while before I got 4.

At the start, I had to accept part-time, because parents want to have their children to have playmates. I've reached a compromise with the part-time (two siblings), they pay the full amount equivalent to 4 full time days. I'm stressing that they're paying for the space.
You need kids to attract clients, it seems. If you're just starting, maybe you should consider taking in one or two part-timers for now.

How many do you have now?
