        I totally feel your pain. Last month I had a FT infant and PT preschooler and both withdrew this month. Mom decided to stay home with her infant and the preschooler went from 3 days to 5 days. now the other FT guy I have is going to preschool as well in Jan leaving me with 1 DCK 3 days a week (with occasional 4th or 5th days) and a SA guy 5 days a week but mom is kinda flakey with payment! I have 3 of my own included in my numbers so last month I was literally full but come Jan I will have like 5 openings!
        I've had a CL ad up for awhile, maybe 1-2 bites. My R&R rotates their list so sometimes I get a bunch of calls (and of course was full!) and then nothing for months. We do have quite a few daycares and preschools in the area. My neighbor has been in business for 10yrs and is also slow.

          I truly think everybody is trying to find places to cut costs so many rely on family or other options instead of childcare centers or homes. I've been doing this 30+ years and this is the first time I've been down in my numbers. I've lost 6 FTers to Kindergarten the past 2 years. There also seems to be more centers springing up locally too. I think people equate a center with preschool so figure their child gets a better education than at a home daycare. It's discouraging.

          Everybody has come up with some great ideas. What about a magnetic sign for your vehicle? I've been thinking of looking into one.
          Good luck finding new families!
