thats the first thing….=P

[u spelled market wrong in your question]

Have a fun (not scary) haunted house at Halloween, give the kids little ziploc baggies with candies and your business card

A big, colorful sign outside your daycare

If you live in a small town you might get the local newspaper to run a little article on you

Flyers at grocery stores, drug stores, pediatrician/dentist offices (if they allow it) and other places parents take their children

Generally family care providers can offer things centers can’t, like smaller groups, more 1:1 care, flexible hours. Advertise what makes you different.

If you are licensed then you’ve probably dealt with the local Resource and Referral Office. I work for one and we let providers post flyers here too. That way when parents come in looking for providers they see your info posted.

And finally, a person in some kind of costume (a baby costume or something representing your day care name) holding a big sign on a busy street corner
