I am legally unlicensenced right now, but I follow all regulations and run a super clean ship. Im turning down people with littles under 24 months because I already have one aside from my own. How can I get 2-5 year olds to join? I am a pretty introverted person, so social events are hard for me.
My major sources right now are Craigslist and a local Mom group on FB (that seems to not want me there)
What state are you in?
Do most daycare's in your area operate legally unlicensed or is that not as common?
Wondering because, unless it's the norm, prospective parents may be shying away due to not being licensed.
