text: develop a plan for an open house at your center that would attract prospective families?   try having an open house on a saturday afternoon january-february.  have it be a causal affair with all the staff there, lots of colorful brochures, and have the staff esp. chat with the little ones.  the regular kids won't be there, so there will be plenty of room, etc.  i'd encourage the little ones to play with the toys, etc., be very hands on.  maybe play games that are played during regular hrs.  definitely have a drawing for anyone who enrolls that day to win a free week of childcare, "good" after a month of paid care.
