    The flip side this is why would someone hold a spot for whole year if service good as they claim they would expect fill much sooner and not lose whole year income.


    People in Ontario are wait listed when pregnant or with a young infant.
    Not here but I am in small community. Here people start looking about 2 weeks before they want start. That said, we know who had baby lately, they know who offer care.

    Well as stated, one of those spots I was holding because I am due to have a baby in March. She and anyone else inquiring about childcare knows I m having a baby and do not keep at full capacity.

    Have you consider maybe expecting own baby is deterring people? Maybe people think you might not open after or that they not want you as carer if you going be closed on mat leave and they need find new daycare.

    Maybe other ladies who have child when running dayhome might know more about if it affect signing client during pregnancy?
