Finding new clients is always stressful for small business owners, especially daycare providers. Here are some reasons:
You are primarily an educator, not a marketer or account manager.
You don’t have time for marketing and advertising. There is no sign or other advertisement near your house.
- The Internet allows us to meet new people, i.e. Reach out to potential customers who may live down the street but don’t know you.
- The Internet makes it possible to reduce advertising costs compared to traditional advertising.
- The Internet has been cooperation for a long time! You can gain more credibility and prove yourself as a professional educator and recognized expert through your presence on social media.

Website
If you don’t have a website for home daycare, this is the first place you should start. Having a website will increase your center’s credibility, while not having one will make your business less trustworthy for parents considering preschool options.
It doesn’t have to be a big website; a one-page website is enough, like a business card.
Think about the content you will post on the website.
- Make a welcome block, where briefly tell the name of your daycare, your main advantage, location, and contact.
- Tell the story of your daycare, and highlight your advantages and features.
- Make a gallery with the interior of the daycare. You can also include photos from the daily life of your kindergarten. Don’t post too many images. Upload 12 to 24 shots; that’s enough to get to know each other. Update photos on the website regularly, such as once a year.
- Tell us about your educational programs, classes, events and entertainment.
- Explain how daycare works.
- Describe meal plans.
- Give links to the conditions and forms of admission and rules.
- Consider linking your website to a Google Business Profile. So that visitors can get acquainted with parents’ reviews and the daycare’s location.
- Make a call to action. For example, take a school tour! Or call to place your child in daycare. Then leave contacts and links to your social media profiles.
How To Create A Home Daycare Website?
You can create a website yourself, for example, on Wix. This is a website builder for users without programming knowledge. You buy a domain (the name of your website), choose a Wicks plan (the platform charges a monthly fee for usage), choose a template, and add your content.
You can order a website for your daycare from our partners. They will create a website with easy navigation and eye-catching design. Optimize your content and site for search engines and proper viewing on desktop and mobile devices. Also, they will include website analytics. If you need help creating a website, please contact us!
