Oh, the kids' thrift store is a great idea - we just had a local one open up.
Ok, and one more question - do you think I should start putting out fliers now, even though I don't have my license yet? I know I can't take kids yet ... but maybe if parents are doing interviews for a couple months ahead? Would you think it would be safe that I could advertise that I would be open in March?
I would say it's fine to advertise early as long as you are sure of your open/start date. I did this when I advertised too. I put something like "new in home daycare opening Aug. 2..." As long as the parents know they can't start immediately and you are certain that your license will be complete by whatever date you decide.
