1. Create a website and get it listed in LOCAL directories and search engines. There are many sites that list the daycare in a particular area, and you need to be in all their lists\n2. Advertise or get listed in local parenting or family magazines. Some have an issue dedicated solely to business listings and you need to be there\n3. Put up signs in the neighborhood during allowed times (mostly weekends) that a new daycare center will be open and accepting enrollments\n4. Word of mouth is still the best. Parents talk to other parents asking for advice on what's the best daycare.\n5. If there are local listservs or mailing groups for parents in your area, actively participate and become an integral and respected part of the community. The members are your target audience, and you need to show a good impression\n6. Distribute flyers to where moms work or congregate. Check if you can put a flyer in local preschools.\n7. Some pediatricians offer a cork board in the waiting where all sorts of ads are placed. If the doctors in your area have this, be sure to put a small flyer advertising your business.

While it may be difficult to find a sample business plan that matches your needs exactly, you should check out some other non-profit business plans to get an idea of the general format. Business plans in general follow the same basic outline, so any outline that you find that you like will work as a good starting point.\n\nHere's one example:\nhttp://www.bplans.com/spv/3050/index.cfm\n\nBusiness Plan Pro actually includes a plan for a shelter for battered women, but that's not free.\n\nFor more free advice, contact your local SCORE office. You can find your local office by going to the SCORE web site: http://www.score.org/\n\nGood luck!
