So far, I haven't had any problem at all filling spots, despite plenty of the free pre-k programs popping up.

During interviews, I have always stressed the "home" part of my business. I want the kids to feel like this is a home away from home, not "school".

I make sure parents know their child will never be just a number here. They will be greeted by the same caring faces every day. Here, their kids will be hugged and loved and will play with friends they get to think of as siblings.

If they are looking a "school" for their kids...this is not the place. I offer a safe and loving HOME enviroment.

So as I offer a totally different kind of care, I'm not too worried about the free care places.

I HAVE received many calls from parents who regret grabbing at "free". They are frantically trying to find care for holidays, teacher development days etc.
