Try going to fairly large companies in your area and ask if you can put up a flyer in their personnel/human resources area are if they have a bulletin board. I had a personnel director for Nestle (they have a big factory about a mile from me) tell me she was thrilled to put up my ad. She said they get a lot of workers calling in with lack of child care dilemmas and so can't come to work etc etc. She was eager to give out my number! I ended up with three families within a few weeks of opening up my day care! I now have an ad in the yellow pages which means my phone rings several times a day and I never go more than a few days without filling a spot. But the "big company" thing worked for me when getting started.
