[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on your website, looks very appealing and much cheaper than what's available near me with a similar 5:2 ratio. One comment - you seem to be targetting an early-preschool age range, based on the activities and toys, but in the home daycares I've seen, the under-2 slots are in huge demand (always filled), while the over-2s often are not filled, as lots of parents either want a bigger group at that age or simply have more care options available. You may well end up with two infants and then 3 (or fewer) older kids of disparate ages. As appealing as the setting looks to me, I'm not sure I would have kept my son in a setting with only 2 other non-babies unless they were close in age. Of course, the market may be different in Fairfax - just something that I wondered about when looking at your website.[/quote]

You are correct about under 2 spots being in big demand. We are currently working on figuring out how to attract the right age group for what we would like to do. We are hoping for 5 children close in age and in the lower range because we would really like the children to stay for a few years. Five 2-3 year olds, one under 2 and four 2-3 year olds, five 3-4 year olds and so on. We are just starting so fortunately we have the opportunity to put together a group that works well age-wise. It is going to be decided by the first one to two children enrolling. Once we have a child or two we will specifically look to fill the other spots with the same ages. At least that's the plan ;)[/quote]
