What parents check

Six things prospective parents look for first

Parents trust a childcare center with their child, so they read closely. Your site should answer these key questions clearly.

Are you licensed?

Your license number, a link to your state inspection record and staff training on each location page.

Which program fits my child?

Infant, toddler, preschool and school-age childcare programs with specific ages, ratios, schedules and tuition.

What does a day look like?

Short video clips and photos of real classrooms, meals and outdoor play time.

How do we reach you?

Contact information, hours, closed days and directions for each childcare location, shown clearly on a phone.

Can we visit first?

A short form on every page, so parents can book a visit or a tour in a minute.

Who will teach my child?

Staff bios with early childhood training and years at your childcare center, written to build trust.

First impression

Parents decide on trust before they ever visit.

A dated site with no license information feels risky. A warm, informative site with clear design feels as safe as your classrooms.

Rules and examples

What a childcare website has to get right

Childcare sites hold information parents share, so a few rules apply.

Want parents to find the site?Map rank work, program pages and family reviews come with our daycare SEO, from $2,000 a month.Daycare SEO
  1. 01

    Children's privacy online

    COPPA, the FTC rule, covers sites directed to children under 13. Details adults share about their kids fall outside it, so parent forms stay clear and simple.

  2. 02

    Accessibility for every family

    The Justice Department says almost all child care providers must comply with Title III of the ADA. Its web guidance applies that duty online, so families with disabilities can use the site.

  3. 03

    License numbers and inspection links

    Florida asks child care ads to carry the license or registration number. Both Florida and New York post inspection records online, so we link yours.

  4. 04

    Key habits of sites parents trust

    Tour button on each page
    A clear next step and contact information parents never lose.
    Real photos and video
    Show real rooms and teachers, which earn trust stock images can't.
    Specific tuition details
    Rates or a range, plus the subsidies you accept.
    Digital forms
    Enrollment packets parents fill in online, not on paper.

Real answers

What directors ask about daycare websites

Cost

How much does a daycare website cost?

A childcare website from Rathly begins at $5,000, one-time. Programs, locations and forms set the final figure in writing.
Builders

Which website builder suits a daycare?

Builders suit a basic page. A custom childcare site adds program pages and form tracking, and you own the code.
Privacy

Does COPPA apply to a daycare website?

Usually not for parent pages. COPPA covers sites aimed at children under 13 and data collected from them, not what parents share.
Photos

Can we show children's photos on our website?

Yes, with signed consent from parents for each child. Your staff can pull any photo down within minutes.
