Today’s blog post features one of our daycare website themes that has a neutral color palette, adaptable to client logos of any color variation – our Sparking Curiosity theme!
This client chose our Professional Website Setup package which included our upgraded photo gallery and full content setup for up to 12 pages. Each page features a unique header banner image that keeps the website visitor engaged and encouraged to click through to additional pages within the website.
The social media icons / links are accessible from the headers and footers of all pages as well as convenient call-to-action buttons in the header & footer to get you to the contact / inquiry form.

Today’s blog features a website created recently with our Learning Journey theme. This client purchased our Plus Website Setup package which included 10 pages. They chose all of their page titles and forwarded us all of their material to have setup on this daycare website template. Having a website setup quickly and in turn-key fashion was important to this client and we had the website ready within just 2 business days following receipt of all of their material. The client is now able to edit their own website with the backend system any time they need to and of course, Websites for Daycares is always available for support if required. Checkout this child care website now to see it in action.
Giggles Academy is one of our newest daycare website themes and we would love to share one of our new client sites using this design. This client chose our Basic 8-page website setup and it was ready within 1 business day of receiving their logo, page titles, social media links, etc. The contact page, as with all of our standard websites, also includes a detailed inquiry form to get in touch regarding enrollment at your child care. Color customization is also always available if you want to see this theme tailored to match your branding. Have a look and let us know when you are ready to work with us on your new child care website.
Are you ready to create a new website for your child care business in 2025? Please consider our Creative Curriculum theme for your new site. It has primary colors that are easy to work with for just about any logo color scheme and the imagery is flexible as well. The site is 100% mobile responsive and will automatically reformat for all screen sizes – desktop, tablet or mobile. This template works with all of our website setup packages – Basic, Plus and Professional and we can also install any of our available website features on the website. And as with all of our websites, it comes with a detailed inquiry form on contact page.
After almost 20 years of creating websites for child care businesses, our best advice is to not show photos of your enrolled children on your child care / daycare website. Here’s why:
We would not recommend adding photos of your enrolled children without receiving written permission from each parent. If the parent finds their child’s photo on your website or social media channels without their authorization, this can do damage to your relationship with those parents if they see it as a safety / security issue.
Aside from that, adding them in the first place typically requires you to go parent-by-parent and have them sign a permission form that allows you to use their child’s photo in your marketing materials. Often times, they do not agree to it and then you have to keep track of who has and who hasn’t provided that permission before you add it to your website.
If a parent initially agrees to allow their child’s photo on your website, they may come back in the future to ask that it be removed which requires you to have your website edited, taking time and money. We have seen this quite often – the photos were integrated with the website but then after the child left their care, they wanted their child’s photo removed.
In our years of creating websites, we believe it is better to use professional, high-quality stock images of children combined with photos of your facility without showing children’s faces. You can select high-quality stock images of children in the same age groups as the children you care for. You can also choose images that show close-ups of the children involved in activities so that it is not 100% evident that the child is not at your facility.
Thanks for reading and get in touch when you’re ready for us to create a new child care website for you.
Happy New Year everyone! Thank you for checkout out our latest blog post featuring one of our latest child care websites based on our Smart Start website theme. This client’s logo worked perfectly with the color palette of this particular daycare website theme and they chose our Basic Website Setup package. After we received their logo, page titles, social media links and contact details, we had their website ready within 1 business day. Their new website is professional, polished and already providing a good stream of inquiries through their new detailed inquiry form on the website.
We love every project we get to work on with our child care clients but our favorite projects are those that start with a custom logo design. For this client, we first designed their colorful, sophisticated new logo. Once the logo design was complete, the client chose their favorite website template which happened to tie in closely with the colors of their new custom logo. Our Back to School website theme was then used to create their new website, inserting and formatting all of their website content, links, pdf enrollment forms, etc. Checkout their colorful new logo & website and let us know what you think! We look forward to working with you on your child care website soon!
At times, our child care clients contact us about the best way to handle negative reviews on their Google listing and/or Facebook page. It’s an unfortunate circumstance to be in but we do have some suggestions on the best way to (1) respond to the negative reviews and (2) improve your rating on those sites.
First, it is important to respond to negative reviews in the most professional way possible, even if you feel like the comments are very unfair. It is important to remember that potential new parents will very likely review not just the negative review but also your response to the review. They will not know the details of the situation and won’t be able to decide who was in the right just from this brief review & response snapshot. So my best advice here is to take the high road, thank them for their review and state that you will be using the feedback to improve your child care services for the families you serve. If you get into ugly details, it will not reflect well on your business, even if you are truly in the right. You are being evaluated on how you handle an unhappy parent and the right response is always a professional and courteous response.
Some of our clients have asked how they can get negative parent reviews removed from their Facebook or Google reviews page all together. Unfortunately, I have never seen these attempts succeed because they are very difficult to prove or fight with Google / Facebook as fraudulent or unfair. So instead of wasting time trying to get them removed, it is best to overwhelm those few negative reviews with many more positive reviews.
The ideal scenario is that your parents leave reviews on those sites at a reasonable pace – say a positive review 2 or 3 times per month, every month. Your audiences there will want to see a continuous feed of spaced-out reviews over a good period of time. That will look better than 5 reviews submitted on the same day but then no more for 6 months.
On a future blog post, we will get into specific suggestions on the best way to request those important reviews.
Thank you for reading and we look forward to working with you soon on your child care website.
