Once you get licensed call your local child care resource agency and ask about putting your daycare on their refferal list. It's usually free and parents trying to find child care call them and get a list of daycares and providers in their area faxed or mailed to them. If you're in their area, your name will be on the list.
Also Holloween is coming up. Instead of giving out candy I give out my business card with a couple of crayons and a sucker taped to the back. I got a client like this last year.
Some great ideas. Thanks. I think I'll try the Halloween idea!! How great is that -- your target audience comes right to your door!!!
