Enrollment Building Online Begins with Your Website!
You website is your online business card and it is vital that your website is compelling parents to call you!
Two years prior to writing this blog post, A parent checked out my website, then she called my center for more information about my preschool program.
During a phone call with the mother, I offered her a Free day and she said, ” No thanks, I have already made my decision to enroll based on what I saw on your website!”
That was an amazing feeling and right now today, I still have parents telling me that they love my website.
Today I am inspired to share my Website marketing tips with you and inspire you to build a website that compels parents to call you!!
Here are 15 Steps to building a website that compels parents to enroll their child in your child care business:

This post is pack with a lot of useful information. I am going to print this and implement each idea on my website. There is a debate about whether to include prices on your website as it may scare off some prospects. Is it better to show families what your program offer before sharing prices with them, or just go ahead and share it with them before tours?

I believe in sharing as much information that you can about your program. If the rates scare parents away, then you probably dont want them as customers anyway. Thanks for your feedback!
