Default Did You Pick Up In September & Then Stall Out???

That's what happened to me!!! Calls were coming in, people were interested, I signed two new full timers......now NOTHING. Can't buy a phone call or find anyone of interest.

Did this happen to you??? When is the next big "push" for daycare???

I have been using all the great ideas I have heard on here. I am going to have some of my friends who live in the local apartment complexes hand out Halloween candy bags w/my business cards on them.

I've heard January. I agree, the calls have slowed down. I signed up 3 families, then nothing. I've gotten a few interviews, but none of them have called me back. Grrr.

I saw this too. I got a ton of calls/emails and quite a few turned into interviews. I ended up signing 2 part timers and now am barely hearing anything. I remember last year I got another boom in late December-February.
