Our child care clients often use Google Calendar to keep their day to day and week to week events organized and available to their enrolled parents. In our opinion, it’s the best available tool to do this because so many people also use Google and can easily add events to their own Google calendar from this tool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Google Calendar, you can share a link to the calendar on their site but they also conveniently provide a way to embed the calendar directly on your website so that people can stay on your website to view it, which we recommend. <\/p>\n\n\n
