Meeko's idea is great to give you guys your own space and still have a great daycare area.
My area is full of SAHM's who do not need childcare, so finding kids is difficult for me as well. I have at times thought of getting out of this field for that reason but I can usually find enough kids to get by. I do only part time care now and I advertise as "only paying for the childcare you need". Meaning I don't do the 6am-6pm M-F for a set fee, I contract days/hours based on what the parents need and set their rates at that - they still pay for their entire week whether they attend or not but they feel like they are getting a better deal than if they were paying full daycare center prices.
