Yes what the previous post says. What do you offer that is different about the other providers in your area? Do you specialize in a certain age group, offer a pre-school program, offer a special diet, offer cloth diapering etc.? Start with those first and then list some of the other highlights in your program.
There are a few of us that use Vflyer when posting on CL. Once you figure out what you want to say on your ad you can plug it in to create a really nice looking flyer that will really stand out compared to the other child care ads. The one bad thing about it ... you have to plug your fee in, it won't let you leave it blank.
I don't use newspaper ads, they're too expensive for me and other providers in my area say that they don't really get too much traffic from them. I make flyers and post them around the neighborhood. I don't know if you can do that in your area but I find that I get about as many calls from them as I do from CL ads. I also have a few signs that you can stake into the ground that I made on the computer that I stake out on my street. I have "Infant Opening Now" or "Toddler Opening Soon" bolded as the title and then my phone number, license # and about 4-5 of my highlights and that's it. I get a lot of calls from that too when I use it.
