We tell parents we have the best of both worlds. They LOVE that. Also a HUGE selling point is that siblings are not split up as they would be in a center.
Maybe emphasize the "best of both worlds" angle?
This is EXACTLY what we have. We are the only ones in town that do it this way and I have had parents cry when i tell them my waiting list is at least three years out and there is no chance I am 'going to call them as soon as something opens up'
