What are some of you issues that are causing you to suffer financially?
Wow....I sound like a 3 year old with a case of "why-arrhea"...LOL!! 
I am just trying to gather some info so that maybe I can offer you some advice or assistance. There are a ton of ladies (and gents) here from all sorts of child care situations so hopefully we can help you out. 
Yes I am licensed for 112 kids, I have 17 staff including my self. I take from 6 weeks to 12 yrs. I am in a separate building. I am the owner and director. I have 2 assistants and the rest is teachers or floaters. I am open from 530am to 7pm. My biggest problem is my rent its so much more then I should have to pay but its too late, i had it built to my liking 5000 sq feet. I just want to have some money in savings as a cushion for tough times. I struggle every week to come up with payroll and all the bills.
