Child Care Center Website
Your Internet presence for your child care facility will meet two broad purposes: 1) provide continuing,
current information to your current clients and 2) assist you in your marketing efforts.
Online Information for Your Child Care Patrons:
You can keep the parents of the current children for which you provide child care in some of these ways:
- Provide detailed information of upcoming field trips or other special outings
- Provide photographs of previous field trips
- Melt the hearts of any parent by showing photos of their children playing and learning within your
facility
- List up-to-date contact information
- Share some of the children's art work or other projects
- Provide an online version of all of your standard policies (so that parents can remind themselves whenever
they need to or when they forget where they've put the printed material)
-
Special email updates of important news or changes
Marketing Your Child Care Business:
One of the great advantages of having a website is the amazing marketing impact of the Internet.
All of the information and images that you have included to keep your current customers happy and up to date,
will prove to be very appealing to those who are looking for a reliable child care service for their precious
offspring. However, those pages that you have set up to inform the parents do not have marketing as their
central purpose.
For marketing purposes, you want to have a page or more dedicated to presenting the benefits of placing children
in your care and the features that your business offers. Furthermore, you should collect the email addresses
of all prospective clients who visit your website so that you can develop a relationship with them.
I recommend using your email newsletter in order to build confidence in your concern for the welfare of
children. You may want to send them authoritative articles with parenting advice, child health care tips and
reminders and other information that parents ought to find useful.
In your email communication, keep all marketing subtle. Your credentials should be clear as a result of
the care that you put into the newsletter.
If you want to begin with a small website, that will probably be an effective way to begin while you measure the
results of your efforts. We offer a special small website
package that might be ideal for your needs in the beginning.
If you already have a small site, and you are looking to expand to a larger, more
efficient website system, we also offer those sorts of design services.
In any case, feel free to contact us with any questions you have
about Internet marketing by completing this simple question form.
