Updated: October 6, 2026

A daycare website needs program pages by age, daily schedule, curriculum approach, tuition and policies, teacher bios, safety and licensing information, photos of the space, a tour request form, and a parent resources page.

## Page-by-page spec

| Page | Must include |
| Home | Tour button, programs, location |
| Programs | By age group |
| Daily schedule | Sample day |
| Tuition | Rates or ranges, fees |
| Teachers | Bios and qualifications |
| Safety and licensing | License number, practices |
| Parents | Handbook, calendar, forms |
| Contact | Tour form, map |

## Privacy

Do not post child photos without written permission, and keep enrollment forms with sensitive information in secure tools.

## Mistakes

- No tuition info
- Outdated calendar
- Stock photos

## What we need from you

Your logo and colors, photos of the space (without identifiable children unless you have permission), program details by age, daily schedule, curriculum description, tuition and fees, license information, teacher bios, handbook, calendar, hours and the tour request questions you want. We help write clear, warm copy.

## Sample safety section

"We are licensed by the state and follow its rules for ratios, background checks and staff training. All teachers are trained in CPR and first aid. Children are signed in and out, and only authorized adults may pick up. We practice fire and emergency drills regularly." Write only what you actually do.

## Sample program page copy

Toddlers. Our toddlers explore through play: blocks, books, art, music and outdoor time every day. We follow each child's routine for naps and meals, help with potty learning when families are ready, and share photos and notes through our parent app.

## What we need from you

Logo, photos of the space without identifiable children (unless permitted), program details, schedule, tuition and fees, license information, teacher bios, parent handbook, calendar and tour form questions.

## Mistakes

- Child photos without permission
- Missing license information
- No tuition range

## Questions the site must answer

Parents ask: are you licensed, what are the ratios, what's the daily schedule, what meals do you serve, how do you handle naps and safe sleep, what's tuition, is there a waitlist and how do you communicate during the day. Answer each on the site.
