How Long Did it Take You to Get Full?

[MommyMuffin]

I was just wondering how long it took everyone to get full when they started out, or to the capacity they wanted? Thanks!

I started advertising in early January and was full by March. Spots open up here and then but March is when I was where I wanted to be with my numbers.

I was licensed in the month of May and was where I wanted to be in July !

Good Luck !

i was licensed in july last year, and wasnt full until this past march, so it took about 8 months.

I started in January and was full by February, but by April I had space available again that took me until this month to fill...and now I have more potential clients than I know what to do with!

I started exactly a year ago and I am still trying to fill my last full time spot. I filled my first space immediately and it took 5 months to fill the next two spaces (siblings). I have been able to manage financially by doing drop-in, and temporary care. I really want to have a permanent full time group though.

I want to note that I get calls pretty regularly but most are either for infants and I am at my limit for infants or from parents who need hours earlier or later than I am willing to be open.

I started just over a year ago and I'm as full as I want to be but they are all part-timers and school agers. It would be much better if they were all full-timers but that's how the cookie crumbles. I thought I was getting my first full-timer in January and Mom called a few weeks ago to say her boss had worked things out so she could work from home 2 days a week. Oh well.....most parents that I have, really enjoy and appreciate their children. I can thoroughly appreciate that.

I started in April and was in a comfortable place by November. Then in April again I lost 2 and another went from FT to PT so I was uncomfortable with no chance of improvement. Now finally I am FULL full for September. Hopefully it will stay that way...

It took me 5 months to get full but I got lucky with a couple of spots because of great referrals......
