It's been about a month since we started promoting our new membership type - A flat rate of $550 with a 40 hour package, to attract 50 families to keep our daycare open. We were on the Global News, and some radio channels to spread the word. It helped spread the word in the media, but did we get a lot of families? Unfortunately, not....really.
Currently we have 44 families, and as you see the numbers, we haven't reached the goal yet.
44 families with the new membership type will be able to cover all of the expenses including the rent, and paying three teachers, Lynn, Shiori, and Saya, but not me and Talia.
We have some families who want to join us from January, which is still helpful, but we have received some cancellation forms for Jan. due to getting a full-time spot as well. We still have the "small business issue" which will never be resolved unless we receive financial support from the Government.
To survive this slow season, I will keep myself off of our staff schedule, and continue focusing on promoting our program from home.
It's not only me trying to promote, and save the daycare!
The teachers are trying so hard to make our program attractive, and your little ones' visit special and precious.
We don't want to put any of you in a stressful situation again at least until the end of the school year (June 2025).
That would be great if you could continue sharing our story, values, and your experiences with Buddings in your network.
I will keep our GoFundMe link open to continue to get financial support.
I really appreciate your support and kind words!
This means the world to us. We can't go though it without you all!
Thank you so much!
