How to Promote a Day Care Center

This is an article on how to promote a day care center.

Things You'll Need

• A thorough knowledge of the following:
• day care center
• home day care
• state licensure

Instructions

1. Step 1) Day Care Centers are doing well in these times so if you are considering starting a business, home day care might be the one for you. The first demographic you need to market your day care center to is PRESCHOOLS. Call preschools in your geographic area to set up a meeting. At that meeting, tell the headmaster the credentials of your day care center and leave plenty of professional brochures for handing out to potential clients.

2. Step 2) The second demographic to market your child day care to is PRESCHOOL PARENTS. Call a mailing house to get a mailing list of all parents in certain zip codes whose children go to private and public preschools--then send everyone on the list a professional brochure of your day care center business. Make sure to send out around 5,000 brochures promoting your day care center to make it worth your while.

3. Step 3) Make a list of all business, personal, professional, and religious CONTACTS. You need to have at least 200 people on this list. Give each one of these people a call letting them know a)that you are in the day care center business, and b)ask them if they know anyone whose child needs day care.

4. Step 4) Aside from the previous 3 methods, you need to employ a host of marketing tactics to promote your day care center. You need to have weekly ad in the local newspaper to promote your day care center, and you need to join your local Mothers-Day-Out Groups, the YWCA, and the YMCA to promote your child day care. Also, make sure every pediatrician's office, dentist's office, and toy store has a brochure of your day care center.

5. Step 5) These are tried-and-true methods in starting, marketing, and growing your home day care. Here's a thought: if child day care does not appeal to you, consider starting a dog day care. These types of businesses are sprouting up all over the country. For more information on starting a day care center, check out the tips section below.
