I don't see anything wrong with your ad I will say if it were me I might just leave out your last 3 bullet points and replace the last part that is all caps with something more personal about you and your experience but that's just me You included your prices in the ad, did you research to make sure they aren't too high and scaring people away? I agree with a PP about adding pictures to the ad when you post on CL.

Tom Copeland has a Family Child Care Marketing Guide that is very helpful:

http://www.tomcopelandblog.com/family-child-care-marketing-guide.html

I use car magnets and hand out business cards like crazy too. I also let my children's teachers and school offices know when I have openings, and have sent my brochure to the nearby public schools. Our CCRR does referrals so I let them know when I have openings too, but most of my recent calls have come from online searches and my website. Oh, and I'm in a family child care support group that promotes each other and shares news of families looking for care.

Good luck!
