"Hi my name is Veronica Baragas with MyWigglesandGiggles.com and I'd like to share with you well, what to name your daycare. So this is a very fun process and I have to say it took me a long time to figure out the name of my daycare. But some of the avenues I took was, I opened up my phone book, I, you know, checked for the list of daycares in my local, you know, area and then I kind of just thought about what it was going to be a good catch for parents, you know, as far as trying to portray in just a few amount of words what it is that you offer. So I chose Wiggles and Giggles, you know, throughout my day my kids are wiggling, I'm wiggling and we're just giggling, so it's just an it was and easy, you know, no brainer for me. So you're definitely going to want to try to portray what is it that you're offering. You're not going to want to say, I mean, I don't know, you're just going to want to try to pertain to, you know, happy smiles or, you know, quality cares, safety, passion, things like that. What do you think of when it comes to care, what do you think of when, you're like hmm, Wiggles and Giggles is such a cute name or you know, Tiny Tots or, you know, whatever it is, just make sure that it pertains to children, but like I said open up your phone book, check with your local names of other daycares so that way you're not trying to have a similar name or whatnot, and there's going to be a lot of good names out there taken already. But just put some words together brainstorm, talk to some family members, friends, you know, do some bounce some ideas off of each other but, you know, just, just sit down and write a bunch of names down and kind of go through, maybe mix some words together. I mean, it's a lot of fun, just be creative and you'll come up with the right name."
