Bulletin Board Ideas for a Day Care
Day care bulletin boards provide an ideal display location for a variety of information. Incorporating the day care children through artwork or photos makes it more special for both the kids and their parents. Create a general background and border to make changing the bulletin board easier. Simply replace some of the images on the board for a new display.

Parent Communication Center
-
A parent communication bulletin board keeps everyone in the loop on important day care announcements. A calendar with any upcoming day care events allows the families to plan ahead for the events. Add any deadlines such as payment due dates or paperwork deadlines on the calendar. A communication bulletin board is also a good place to post important procedures, changes in policies or any infectious illnesses that have been diagnosed in kids that attend the day care.
Child Artwork
-
The day care kids provide a valuable source of bulletin board artwork. Display pictures or other crafts the kids create at the day care. If the day care is large, choose a different room each month to provide the artwork for the bulletin board. Encourage the teachers to use artwork that fits a particular theme, which might include seasonal, holiday or teaching themes. Include each child's name and age next to the artwork. The parents enjoy seeing the artwork created by their children.

Seasonal Displays
-
Seasonal displays add a festive look to the bulletin boards. If the displays are located in the day care classroom, use them to enhance the curriculum. The kids can refer to the bulletin board display during seasonally themed activities. One simple idea is to make a tree bulletin board display. Change the leaves and background to match the season. In the fall, create fall-colored leaves on and around the tree. Remove the leaves for winter and add snowflakes around it. Add buds to the tree for the spring months. Full green leaves work for the summer tree. Holiday bulletin board themes also work well.
Photos
-
A bulletin board works well as a display for photos of the day care children in action. Include pictures of field trips, big projects or general day-to-day activities that the day care children do. Add captions below each picture to describe what is going on and who is in the picture. This allows the parents to get a glimpse of what their kids experience while at day care. The kids also get the chance to show off what they've done.
